When perf data is recorded with the call-graph option enabled, the
callchain shown by perf script shows the binary offsets of the symbols
as the ip. This is incorrect for kernel symbols as the ip values are
always off by a fixed offset depending on the architecture. If the
offsets from the start of the symbols are printed, they are also
incorrect for both kernel and userspace symbols.
Without the call-graph option, the callchain shows the virtual addresses
of the symbols rather than their binary offsets. The offsets printed in
this case are also correct.
This fixes the inconsistency in perf script's output.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as
follows:

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.
We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.
All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.
Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

Out of thread__find_addr_location(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.
So thread__find_symbol() will eventually do just that, and 'struct
symbol' will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

map_groups__fixup_end() was called to set the end addresses of kernel
and module maps. But now since machine__create_modules() sets the end
address of modules properly, the only remaining piece is the kernel map.
We can set it with adjacent module's address directly instead of calling
map_groups__fixup_end(). If there's no module after the kernel map, the
end address will be ~0ULL.
Since it also changes the start address of the kernel map, it needs to
re-insert the map to the kmaps in order to keep a correct ordering. Kim
reported that it caused problems on ARM64.

It's passed along several hists entries in --hierarchy mode, so it's
better we keep track of it.
The current fail I see is that it gets removed in hierarchy --mem-mode
mode, where it's shared in the different hierarchies, but removed from
the template hist entry, so the report crashes.

We should not search for the kernel start address in
__machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report'
code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one
recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or
newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed)
instead of in current kernel address.
The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating
the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code
path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in
the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function.
The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls
machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls
machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address.
Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and
moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place.
Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no
external user.
