In some cases, a symbol may have multiple aliases. Attempting to add an
entry probe for such symbols results in a probe being added at an
incorrect location while it fails altogether for return probes. This is
only applicable for binaries with debug information.
During the arch-dependent post-processing, the offset from the start of
the symbol at which the probe is to be attached is determined and added
to the start address of the symbol to get the probe's location. In case
there are multiple aliases, this offset gets added multiple times for
each alias of the symbol and we end up with an incorrect probe location.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system as shown below.

For both the entry probe and the return probe, the probe location
should be _text+4276888 (0xc000000000414298). Since another alias
exists for 'sys_open', the post-processing code will end up adding
the offset (8 for powerpc64le) twice and perf will attempt to add
the probe at _text+4276896 (0xc0000000004142a0) instead.
