From: Artem Savkov <asav...@redhat.com> If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to elf_close().
