Subject: [PATCH 8/8] perf symbols: Fix JIT symbol resolution on heap

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

Gaurav reported that perf cannot profile JIT program if it executes the
code on heap.  This was because current map__new() only handle JIT on
anon mappings - extends it to handle no_dso (heap, stack) case too.

This patch assumes JIT profiling only provides dynamic function symbols
so check the mapping type to distinguish the case.  It'd provide no
symbols for data mapping - if we need to support symbols on data
mappings later it should be changed.
