Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf symbols: Handle '1' symbols in /proc/kallsyms

Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

I started seeing this in recent Fedora 42 kernels:

  root@x1:~# uname -a
  Linux x1 6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Oct 19 18:47:49 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  root@x1:~#

  root@x1:~# perf test 1
    1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms     : FAILED!
  root@x1:~#

Related to:

That is found in:

  root@x1:~#

But was being filtered out when reading /proc/kallsyms, as the '1'
symbol type was not being handled, do it, there are just two of them at
this point.
