perf symbols: /proc/kallsyms does not sort module symbols 

kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end
of the previous symbol to the start of the current one.

Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg:

ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq   [e1000e]
ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers       [e1000e]

Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length
larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output.

We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so
use that instead.
