Subject: [PATCH] trace-cmd: fixup more bogus symbol resolutions

Commit ce1cbc51c ("trace-cmd: Leave out absolute addresses to fix bogus
symbol resolutions") fixed up bogus symbol resolution for 'A' type
symbols used on x86_64 for percpu offsets.

However, this check did not cover per-cpu variables used in modules,
which are generated as 'local' absolute symbols, and therefore appear as 'a' in
/proc/kallsyms.  Fix this.
