Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into "%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start populating a directory reserved for in-kernel modules and I can stop hex-editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree modules. Feedback from Namhyung Kim correctly revealed that the hex-edits that I had been doing meant that perf was also traversing the build and source symlinks in %s/lib/modules/%s. That is undesireable, so we explicitly exclude them from traversal with a minor tweak to the traversal routine.
