Subject: [PATCH 4.9 31/59] perf probe powerpc: Ignore SyS symbols irrespective of endianness

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sandipan Das <sandipan@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit fa694160cca6dbba17c57dc7efec5f93feaf8795 ]

This makes sure that the SyS symbols are ignored for any powerpc system,
not just the big endian ones.
