We remove "other info" from "readelf -s --wide" output when
parsing GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable, which was added in [1].
But we don't do that for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT and it's failing
the check_abi target on powerpc Fedora 33.

The extra "other info" wasn't problem for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT
parsing until commit [2] added awk in the pipe, which assumes
that the last column is symbol, but it can be "other info".

Adding "other info" removal for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT the same
way as we did for GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT parsing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
