Subject: [PATCH] perf auxtrace: Fix address filter symbol name match for
modules
For modules, names from kallsyms__parse() contain the module name which
meant that module symbols did not match exactly by name.
Fix by matching the name string up to the separating tab character.
Fixes: 1b36c03e356936d6 ("perf record: Add support for using symbols in address filters")
