[PATCH v2] perf: Fix display of kernel symbols

Since commit 659ad3492b91 ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily
sorted array for addresses"), perf doesn't display anymore kernel
symbols on powerpc, allthough it still detects them as kernel addresses.

	# Overhead  Command     Shared Object  Symbol

	     0.36%  Coeur main  [unknown]      [k] 0xc01f45c0

This is because function maps__find_next_entry() now returns current
entry instead of next entry, leading to kernel map end address
getting mis-configured with its own start address instead of the
start address of the following map.

Fix it by really taking the next entry, also make sure that entry
follows current one by making sure entries are sorted.

v2: Make sure the entries are sorted, if not sort them.
