4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit edee44be59190bf22d5c6e521f3852b7ff16862f upstream.

'perf report --tui' exits with error when it finds a sample of zero
length symbol (i.e. addr == sym->start == sym->end). Actually these are
valid samples. Don't exit TUI and show report with such symbols.
