perf probe arm64: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

Browse Source 
On an arm64 machine running a CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y kernel, perf
kernel symbol resolution fails.  Debugging saw symsrc_init calling the
default elf__needs_adjust_symbols() where checks for an ET_DYN (3)
ehdr.e_type failed when they should have succeeded.

Fix by adopting powerpc version of the weak elf__needs_adjust_symbols()
function, as done in commit d233209833 ("perf probe ppc: Fix symbol
fixup issues due to ELF type").

Prior to this patch, perf test 1 would fail:

  $ sudo oldperf test -v 1 |& head
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                       :
  test child forked, pid 33374
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux for symbols
  ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1000: do_undefinstr not on kallsyms
  ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1320: do_sysinstr not on kallsyms
  ERR : 0xfffe0000100f13b0: do_debug_exception not on kallsyms

  ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1580: do_sp_pc_abort not on kallsyms
  ...

After applying this patch, perf test 1 now succeeds:

  $ sudo ./newperf test -v 1 |& head
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                       :
