Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d367875804 perf test: Look forward for symbol aliases
Not just before, fixing these false positives:

[acme@mica linux]$ perf test -v 1
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:

[acme@mica linux]$

Some are weak functions, others are just markers, etc. They get in the rb tree
with the same addr, so we need to look around to find the symbol with the same
name.

We were looking just at the previous entries with the same addr, look forward
too.
