Subject: perf symbol: Update symbols__fixup_end()

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung at kernel.org>

commit 8799ebce84d672aae1dc3170510f6a3e66f96b11 upstream.

Now arch-specific functions all do the same thing.  When it fixes the
symbol address it needs to check the boundary between the kernel image
and modules.  For the last symbol in the previous region, it cannot
know the exact size as it's discarded already.  Thus it just uses a
small page size (4096) and rounds it up like the last symbol.

Fixes: 3cf6a32f3f2a4594 ("perf symbols: Fix symbol size calculation condition")
