perf symbols: work around incorrect ET_EXEC symbol adjustment
Workaround to adjust .text symbols from ET_EXEC images correctly.
This is not a complete fix, but addresses the common case and does not
create additional assumptions beyond those which perf already makes.
ELF images with a weird link map may still be processed incorrectly
(as at present) -- that will require a separate fix.
The workaround allows correct symbol offsets to be generated for
ET_EXEC executables on systems with separated debug info (where
section sh_offset fields from the debug image may bear no relation to
the layout of the executable image).
The cover note accompanying this patch contains a more detailed
explanation.
