Out of map_groups__find_symbol_by_name(), so that we can turn this later
one first into a call to maps__find_symbol_by_name(MAP__FUNCTION) +
MAP__VARIABLE, and then to just one call, we'll merge MAP__FUNCTION with
MAP__VARIABLE maps, to simplify the code.

references a map and the thread instance goes away by processing a

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.

Start fixing it by reference counting them.

This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.

Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

To allow concurrent access, next step: refcount struct map instances, so
that we can ditch maps-&gt;removed_maps and stop leaking threads, maps,
then struct DSO needs the same treatment.

That for now has the maps rbtree and the list for the dead maps, that
may be still referenced from some hist_entry, etc.

This paves the way for protecting the rbtree with a lock, then refcount
the maps and finally remove the removed_maps list, as it'll not ne
anymore needed.

It really is a 'struct map' method, and since we're introducing a new
'struct maps' class, fix it to avoid confusion.

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the
leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this
patch.

We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 -
we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during
symbol name comparison.
