perf lock contention: Fix core dump related to not finding the "__sched_text_end" symbol on s/390

The test case perf lock contention dumps core on s390. Run the following
commands:

  # ./perf lock record -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

      Total time: 2.799 [sec]
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.073 MB perf.data (100 samples) ]
  #
  # ./perf lock contention
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

The function call stack is lengthy, here are the top 5 functions:

  # gdb ./perf core.24048
  GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora Linux 12.1-6.fc37
  Core was generated by `./perf lock contention'.
  Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The issue is in function machine__is_lock_function() in file
./util/machine.c lines 3355:

   /* should not fail from here */
   sym = machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name(machine, "__sched_text_end", &kmap);
   machine->sched.text_end = kmap->unmap_ip(kmap, sym->start)

On s390 the symbol __sched_text_end is *NOT* in the symbol list and the
resulting pointer sym is set to NULL. The sym->start is then a NULL pointer
access and generates the core dump.

The reason why __sched_text_end is not in the symbol list on s390 is
simple:

When the symbol list is created at perf start up with function calls

  dso__load
  +--> dso__load_vmlinux_path
       +--> dso__load_vmlinux
            +--> dso__load_sym
	         +--> dso__load_sym_internal (reads kernel symbols)
		 +--> symbols__fixup_end
		 +--> symbols__fixup_duplicate

The issue is in function symbols__fixup_duplicate(). It deletes all
symbols with have the same address. On s390:

  # nm -g  ~/linux/vmlinux| fgrep c68390
  0000000000c68390 T __cpuidle_text_start
  0000000000c68390 T __sched_text_end
  #

two symbols have identical addresses and __sched_text_end is considered
duplicate (in ascending sort order) and removed from the symbol list.
Therefore it is missing and an invalid pointer reference occurs.  The
code checks for symbol __sched_text_start and when it exists assumes
symbol __sched_text_end is also in the symbol table. However this is not
the case on s390.

Same situation exists for symbol __lock_text_start:

0000000000c68770 T __cpuidle_text_end
0000000000c68770 T __lock_text_start

This symbol is also removed from the symbol table but used in function
machine__is_lock_function().

To fix this and keep duplicate symbols in the symbol table, set
symbol_conf.allow_aliases to true. This prevents the removal of
duplicate symbols in function symbols__fixup_duplicate().
