perf symbols: Properly align symbol_conf.priv_size
If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.
We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
"struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
potentially unaligned.
So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()
