Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf symbols: Look at .dynsym again if .symtab not found

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

The original intent of the code was to repeat the search with
want_symtab = 0. But as the code stands now, we never hit the "default"
case of the switch statement. Which means we never repeat the search.
