This seems to match the patch description, good, just aligning the puts

But this is a missing one, so not aligning, but fixing a separate issue,
i.e. a missing put? Should go on a different patch, probably with a
Fixes.

This one removes an argument, so look like a separate patch as well,
needs a description of why removing the argument is the right thing to
do here.

Can you please avoid reflowing to reduce the cost of reviewing? If this
was just:

- if (dso__process_kernel_symbol(dso, map, &sym, &shdr, kmaps, kmap, &curr_dso, &curr_map,
section_name, adjust_kernel_syms, kmodule,
&remap_kernel, max_text_sh_offset))
+ if (dso__process_kernel_symbol(dso, map, &sym, &shdr, kmaps, kmap, &curr_dso,
section_name, adjust_kernel_syms, kmodule,
&remap_kernel, max_text_sh_offset))

The actual change would be quickly spotted as just the line where it
takes place gets changed.

I applied all the patches in this series but this one, please split it
as described.

The tests I run after each patch before this one passed, thanks for
addressing the issues I reported,

I'm pushing what I have to tmp.perf-tools-next,
