Subject: MINOR: tools: add functions to retrieve the address of a symbol
X-Git-Tag: v2.4-dev19~145

MINOR: tools: add functions to retrieve the address of a symbol

get_sym_curr_addr() will return the address of the first occurrence of
the given symbol while get_sym_next_addr() will return the address of
the next occurrence of the symbol. These ones return NULL on non-linux,
non-ELF, non-USE_DL.
