perf_counter tools: Handle overlapping MMAP events
Martin Schwidefsky reported "perf report" symbol resolution problems on S390. Since we only report MMAP, not MUNMAP, we have to deal with overlapping maps. We used to simply throw out the old map on the assumption whole maps got unmapped. This obviously doesn't deal with partial unmaps. However it appears some dynamic linkers do fancy partial unmaps (s390), so do something more elaborate and truncate the old maps, only removing them when they've been fully covered. This resolves (part of) the S390 symbol resolution problems.
