[PATCH UEK5] perf symbols: Cannot disassemble some routines when debuginfo present

[Eric Saint-Etienne <eric.saint.etienne@oracle.com>]

When the kernel is compiled with -ffunction-sections and perf uses the kernel
debuginfo, perf fails the very first symbol lookup and ends up with an offset
in [kernel.vmlinux]. It's due to how perf loads the .text map first then loads
the other maps in the kernel debuginfo image.

This issue is specific to the debuginfo when using -ffunction-sections and it
doesn't happen with kallsyms because there's not multiple stages of loading
/proc/kallsyms.

This patch makes sure that the event address we're looking up is indeed within
the map we've found, otherwise we look another map up again. Only one extra
lookup at most is required for the proper map to be found, if it exists.
