Subject: [PATCH TIP 1/1] perf_counter tools: Adjust only prelinked symbol's
	addresses

I.e. we can't handle these two kinds of files in the same way:
   
1) prelinked system library:
    
[acme@...pio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   278: 00000030450105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf@@ELFUTILS_0.122

2) not prelinked library with debug information from a -debuginfo package:

[acme@...pio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   629: 00000000000105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf
[acme@...pio pahole]$

Now the numbers I got for a pahole perf run are in line with the numbers I get
from oprofile.
