[PATCH -tip 2/8] [BUGFIX] perf-tools: Load map before usingmap->map_ip

[Masami Hiramatsu]

In map_groups__find_symbol() map->map_ip is used without
ensuring the map is loaded. Then the address passed
to map->map_ip isn't mapped at the first time.

E.g. below code always fails to get a symbol at the first call;

	addr = /* Somewhere in the kernel text */
	symbol_conf.try_vmlinux_path = true;
	symbol__init();
	host_machine = machine__new_host();
	sym = machine__find_kernel_function(host_machine,
					 addr, NULL, NULL);
	/* Note that machine__find_kernel_function calls
	   map_groups__find_symbol */

This ensures it by calling map__load before using it in
map_groups__find_symbol().
