We should not search for kernel start address in __machine__create_kernel_maps function, because it's being used in 'report' code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address instead of in current kernel address
The __machine__create_kernel_maps serves purely for creating the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in machine__set_kernel_mmap function. The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls machine__create_kernel_maps to get current maps and calls machine__get_running_kernel_start to get kernel starting address. Also making __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no external user.
