Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 29bcabf8d9 perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones
commit 432746f8e0 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.
