Subject: perf symbol: Remove arch__symbols__fixup_end()

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung at kernel.org>

commit a5d20d42a2f2dc2b2f9e9361912062732414090d upstream.

Now the generic code can handle kallsyms fixup properly so no need to
keep the arch-functions anymore.

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