[PATCH RESEND 1/3] perf sort: Drop ip_[lr] arguments from _sort__sym_cmp()

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols
between two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort
keys.  Those functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless
since it gets over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a
start address of the symbol.  So just get rid of them.

This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks
since it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch
address.  However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.

Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().
