Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix sort__sym_cmp to also compare end of symbol

When using a map file from a JIT, due to memory reuse, we can
obtain multiple symbols with the same start address but a different
length.
The symbols__find does check for the end so not doing it in sort__sym_cmp
was causing the hist_entry in the annotate part of a report to match to the
wrong entry, causing a fatal error.
