perf machine: Don't ignore _etext when not a text symbol
Depending on how vmlinux.lds is written, _etext might be the very first
data symbol instead of the very last text symbol.
Don't require it to be a text symbol, accept any symbol type.
Comitter notes:
See the first Link for further discussion, but it all boils down to
this:
---
# grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata /proc/kallsyms
c0000000 T _stext
c08b8000 D _etext
So there is no _edata and _etext is not text
$ ppc-linux-objdump -x vmlinux | grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata
c0000000 g .head.text 00000000 _stext
c08b8000 g .rodata 00000000 _etext
c1378000 g .sbss 00000000 _edata
