perf hist: Update hist symbol when updating maps

AddressSanitizer found a use-after-free bug in the symbol code which
manifested as 'perf top' segfaulting.

When updating hist maps it's also necessary to update the hist symbol
reference because the old one gets freed in map__put().

While this bug was probably introduced with 5c24b67a ("perf
tools: Replace map->referenced & maps->removed_maps with map->refcnt"),
the symbol objects were leaked until c087e948 ("perf machine:
Fix refcount usage when processing PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL") was merged so
the bug was masked.

Fixes: c087e948 ("perf machine: Fix refcount usage when processing PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL")
