perf_counter tools: Cover PLT symbols too
PLT, the Program Linking Table, is used with the dynamic linker to allow PIC code in executables and shared objects to figure out where functions are in other shared objects. It is one of the sources of unknown/unresolved symbols - this patch does what binutils figures out when you ask it to disassembly.
