Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix handling of .debug cache for kernel symbols

There was a bug in the way perf was looking for
kernel symbols when the .debug cache was not in $HOME.

With the /etc/perfconfig or $HOME/.perfconfig files, it
is possible to use an alternate location for the .debug
buildid + binary cache.

The problem is that the alternate location was ignored
for kernel symbols, leading to partial profiles in case
the host kernel was  not the one used to collect the profile,
e.g., with remote profiling.

This patch fixes the problem by adding the buildi_dir prefix
to the lookup path used in dso__load_kernel_sym().

The change to util.h is necessary to avoid a redefinition
of _GNU_SOURCE.
