Commit Message

  perf expands the _init symbol over .plt because there are no PLT symbols
at that point, but then dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.

Fix by truncating the previous symbol and inserting a symbol for .plt
header.

Example:

 Before:

   $ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols
    74: Symbols                                                         :
   --- start ---
   test child forked, pid 191028
   Problems creating module maps, continuing anyway...
   Testing /usr/bin/uname
   Overlapping symbols:
    2000-25f0 g _init
    2040-2050 g free@plt
   test child finished with -1
   ---- end ----
   Symbols: FAILED!
   $ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp1.txt

 After:

   $ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols
    74: Symbols                                                         :
   --- start ---
   test child forked, pid 194291
   Testing /usr/bin/uname
   test child finished with 0
   ---- end ----
   Symbols: Ok
   $ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp2.txt
   $ diff /tmp/cmp1.txt /tmp/cmp2.txt
