perf annotate: Properly interpret indirect call

Browse Source 
The patch changes the parsing of:

	callq  *0x8(%rbx)

from:

  0.26 │     → callq  *8

to:

  0.26 │     → callq  *0x8(%rbx)

in this case an address is followed by a register, thus one can't parse
only the address.

Committer testing:

1) run 'perf record sleep 10'
2) before applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 > /tmp/before

3) after applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 > /tmp/after

4) diff /tmp/before /tmp/after:
