Gary Guo 623ba6ea45 perf symbol: Remove Rust symbol workarounds 
Due to an off-by-one error introduced in commit 73bbb94466
("kallsyms: support "big" kernel symbols"), long symbols (which are
currently only produced by Rust) can have their symbol type being
wrongly parsed by kernel/kallsyms.c.

This has been fixed in commit f3f9f42232 ("kallsyms: Fix wrong
"big" kernel symbol type read from procfs"), and these symbols are now
reported correctly.

Drop the workaround in perf symbol that filter out these symbol types.

Specifically, '1' and 'l' can never be generated by nm -- 'u' does
indicate GNU unique, however such symbols are only generated by G++ for
C++ templates, and are never generated by LLVM (LLVM generates weak
symbols in such cases instead).

'N' can appear if symbols exist inside debug sections, and 'n' may
appear for symbols inside note sections, however these sections do not
typically have symbol (and they're explicitly filtered out by kallsyms).

Therefore, the previous occurrence of these symbols types must be due to
the off-by-one error and can be safely removed.
