Peter, is find_symbol_containing() broken by aliased functions and/or
overlapping symbols?

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 7 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
     0: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND
     1: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    5 __ksym_marker___fentry__
     2: 000000000000000e     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    3 fgraph_trace
     3: 000000000000000f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    3 trace
     4: 0000000000000000   165 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    3 __fentry__
     5: 000000000000000e     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    3 ftrace_stub
     6: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND ftrace_trace_function

Notice the NOTYPEs are inside the FUNC.
