Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf symbols: Call the symbol filter in dso__synthesize_plt_symbols

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

We need to pass the symbol to the filter so that, for instance, 'perf
top' can do filtering and also set the private area it manages, setting
the ->map pointer, etc.

I found this while running 'perf top' on a machine where hits happened
on PLT symbols, where ->map wasn't being set up and segfaults thus
happened.
