Subject: [PATCHv6 2.6.35-rc3-tip 10/12]  perf: Dont adjust symbols on name lookup


perf: Dont adjust symbols on name lookup

Adjusting symbols is not needed if we are searching by name even
if the symbols correspond to user space objects.
Infact if we adjust and search symbols by name, we get incorrect
results.
