Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf core: Fix a mmap & munmap mismatches bug in dso__load

From: Chenggang Qin <chenggang.qcg@...bao.com>

Some dsos' symsrc is neither syms_ss or runtime_ss. In this situation, the
corresponding ELF file is opened and mmapped in symsrc__init(), but they will
be not closed and munmapped in any place.
This bug can lead to mmap & munmap mismatched, the mmap areas will exist during
the life of perf. We can think this is a memory leak.
This patch fixed the bug. symsrc__destroy() is called while the opened and
mmaped ELF file has neither symtlb section nor dynsym section, and opdsec
section.
Thanks.
