perf symbols: Accept symbols starting at address 0

Browse Source 
That is the case of _text on s390, and we have some functions that return an
address, using address zero to report problems, oops.

This would lead the symbol loading routines to not use "_text" as the reference
relocation symbol, or the first symbol for the kernel, but use instead
"_stext", that is at the same address on x86_64 and others, but not on s390:

  [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ head -15 /proc/kallsyms
  0000000000000000 T _text
  0000000000000418 t iplstart
  0000000000000800 T start
  000000000000080a t .base
  000000000000082e t .sk8x8
  0000000000000834 t .gotr
  0000000000000842 t .cmd
  0000000000000846 t .parm
  000000000000084a t .lowcase
  0000000000010000 T startup
  0000000000010010 T startup_kdump
  0000000000010214 t startup_kdump_relocated
  0000000000011000 T startup_continue
  00000000000112a0 T _ehead
  0000000000100000 T _stext
  [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$

Which in turn would make 'perf test vmlinux' to fail because it wouldn't find
the symbols before "_stext" in kallsyms.

Fix it by using the return value only for errors and storing the
address, when the symbol is successfully found, in a provided pointer
arg.
