Subject: [patch 034/123] perf symbols: Check the right return variable

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@...ux.intel.com>

commit 37fe5fcb7a5b5235c8b71bf5469ce4c7246e3fab upstream.

In function dso__split_kallsyms(), curr_map saves the return value
of map__new2. So check it instead of var map after the call returns.
