[Bug translator/10174] New: Enable stap to map function addresses to function names

["prerna at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

While probing a function like :

void timer_stats_update_stats(void *timer, pid_t pid, void *startf,
                              void *timerf, char *comm,
                              unsigned int timer_flag)

one can determine only address of timer interrupt handler (timerf).
One needs to lookup /proc/kallsyms to lookup what handler-function name this
address corresponds to.

It'll proly be a good idea for systemtap translator/tapsets to have functions
for this.
