Revert "scripts/faddr2line: Check only two symbols when calculating symbol size"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit c02904f05f.

Such commit assumed that only two symbols are relevant for the symbol
size calculation. However, this can lead to an incorrect symbol size
calculation when there are mapping symbols emitted by readelf.

For instance, when feeding 'update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4', faddr2line
might need to process the following readelf lines:

 784284: ffffffc0081cca30   428 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT     2 update_irq_load_avg
  87319: ffffffc0081ccb0c     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62522
  87321: ffffffc0081ccbdc     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62524
  87323: ffffffc0081ccbe0     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62526
  87325: ffffffc0081ccbe4     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62528
  87327: ffffffc0081ccbe8     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62530
  87329: ffffffc0081ccbec     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62532
  87331: ffffffc0081ccbf0     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62534
  87332: ffffffc0081ccbf4     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62535
 783403: ffffffc0081ccbf4   424 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT     2 sched_pelt_multiplier

The symbol size of 'update_irq_load_avg' should be calculated with the
address of 'sched_pelt_multiplier', after skipping the mapping symbols
seen in between. However, the offending commit cuts the list short and
faddr2line incorrectly assumes 'update_irq_load_avg' is the last symbol
in the section, resulting in:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
  skipping update_irq_load_avg address at 0xffffffc0081cca4c due to size mismatch (0x1c4 != 0x3ff9a59988)
  no match for update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4

After reverting the commit the issue is resolved:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
  update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4:
  cpu_of at kernel/sched/sched.h:1109
  (inlined by) update_irq_load_avg at kernel/sched/pelt.c:481
