[patch] Do not add partial_symbol again and again to the list

[Aleksandar Ristovski <aristovski at qnx dot com>]

Hello,

The attached patch checks if partial_symbol has already been added to the list 
instead of adding duplicate records.

Tested on linux x86, no regression.

Thanks,

	* symfile.c (add_psymbol_to_list): Do not alloca and copy name
	if it's already properly terminated. Check if the partial_symbol
	structure has already been added to the list. If it has, do not
	add it again.
