Fixing up more symbol ends as introduced in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220317135536.805-1-mpetlan@redhat.com/
caused perf annotate to run into memory limits - every symbol holds
all the disassembled code in the annotation, and so making symbols
ends further away dramatically increased memory usage (40MB to
 >1GB). Modify the symbol end logic so that special kernel cases aren't
applied in the common case.

v2. Drops a merged patch. Fixes a build issue with libbfd enabled.

Ian Rogers (4):
  perf symbols: Always do architecture specific fixups
  perf symbols: Add is_kernel argument to fixup end
  perf symbol: By default only fix zero length symbols
  perf symbols: More specific architecture end fixing
