perf report/top: Do not offer annotation for symbols without samples

This can happen in the --children mode, i.e. the default mode when callchains are present, where one of the main entries may be a callchain entry with no samples.

So far we were not providing any information about why an annotation couldn't be provided even offering the Annotation option in the popup menu.

Work is needed to allow for no-samples "annotation', i.e. to show the disassembly anyway and allow for navigation, etc.
