[ Upstream commit 6d518ac7be6223811ab947897273b1bbef846180 ]

The perf jvmti agent doesn't create program headers, in this case
fallback on section headers as happened previously.

Committer notes:

To test this, from a public post by Ian:

1) download a Java workload dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dacapobench/

2) build perf such as "make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf NO_LIBBFD=1" it
should detect Java and create /tmp/perf/libperf-jvmti.so

3) run perf with the jvmti agent:

  perf record -k 1 java -agentpath:/tmp/perf/libperf-jvmti.so -jar dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar -n 10 fop

4) run perf inject:

  perf inject -i perf.data -o perf-injected.data -j

5) run perf report

  perf report -i perf-injected.data | grep org.apache.fop

With this patch reverted I see lots of symbols like:

     0.00%  java             jitted-388040-4656.so  [.] org.apache.fop.fo.FObj.bind(org.apache.fop.fo.PropertyList)

With the patch (2d86612aacb7805f ("perf symbol: Correct address for bss
symbols")) I see lots of:

  dso__load_sym_internal: failed to find program header for symbol:
  Lorg/apache/fop/fo/FObj;bind(Lorg/apache/fop/fo/PropertyList;)V
  st_value: 0x40

Fixes: 2d86612aacb7805f ("perf symbol: Correct address for bss symbols")
