Apparently there are situations where the compiler generates entries in the symbol table with zero size which are still referenced by some callstacks. After commit fc12536 we ended up losing the symbol names in such cases. This patch fixes it again and restores the symbol names for such zero-size symbols. Fixes: KDAB/hotspot#252 Change-Id: Ib11521bc88f719811559d1e20f27c275eb8e5606

Hello Milian,
We have faced with a lot of disappeared symbols from Hotspot output due to recent changes about
'Important performance optimization with building of sorted symtab for faster lookups' - Jul 2, 2020 commit fc12536.
I have noticed that there are not considered symbols with zero size and due this they disappeared.
The context is the following - we have some Java benchmarks contained many symbols from .so.
They have zero size and we just lost them at all after mentioned 'Performance optimization' changes.
I will send merge request with my suggestion to fix this.
