[PATCH] gprofng: Properly generate file offset for gmon.out

H.J. Lu proposes a patch for gprofng to correctly generate the file offset for gmon.out when creating a map file. The fix involves retrieving the file offset from the filepos field of core_text_sect, which resolves a failure in the tmpdir/gp-gmon test case on Linux/x86-64.
