Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] perf tests: stop reading if objdump output crossed sections

objdump output can span across multiple sections:

  Disassembly of section .text:
    0000000000000008 <crc32c+0x8>:
       8:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       b:       53                      push   %rbx
       c:       8b 01                   mov    (%rcx),%eax
    <snip>
      6b:       90                      nop

  Disassembly of section .init.text:
    0000000000000008 <init_module+0x8>:
       8:       00 00                   add    %al,(%rax)
       a:       00 00                   add    %al,(%rax)
       c:       48 89 e5

Stop further reading if address starts going backwards,
assuming we crossed sections.
