faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures, the sequel
If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists
in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text. This can result in
comically wrong output. For example:
$ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c
enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30:
find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40
(inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504
Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file
is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses.
