[PATCH] perf symbols: Synthesize anonymous mmap events

[Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>]

perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap
events even though the kernel does. As a result an already running
application with dynamically created code will not get profiled -
all samples end up in the unknown bucket.

This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding
events for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other
executable mmaps are assumed to be anonymous and an event is
synthesized.
