perf probe arm64: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type
On an arm64 machine running a CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y kernel, perf
kernel symbol resolution fails. Debugging saw symsrc_init calling the
default elf__needs_adjust_symbols() where checks for an ET_DYN (3)
ehdr.e_type failed when they should have succeeded.
Fix by adopting powerpc version of the weak elf__needs_adjust_symbols()
function, as done in commit d2332098331f ("perf probe ppc: Fix symbol
fixup issues due to ELF type").
Prior to this patch, perf test 1 would fail:
$ sudo oldperf test -v 1 |& head
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms :
test child forked, pid 33374
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
Using /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux for symbols
ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1000: do_undefinstr not on kallsyms
ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1320: do_sysinstr not on kallsyms
ERR : 0xfffe0000100f13b0: do_debug_exception not on kallsyms

ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1580: do_sp_pc_abort not on kallsyms
...
After applying this patch, perf test 1 now succeeds:
$ sudo ./newperf test -v 1 |& head
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms :
test child forked, pid 33378
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
