perf symbols: Fix a mmap and munmap mismatched bug

In function filename__read_debuglink(), while the ELF file is opend and
mmapped in elf_begin(), but if this file is considered to not be usable
during the following code, we will goto the close(fd) directly. The
elf_end() is skipped.  So, the mmaped ELF file cannot be munmapped. The
mmapped areas exist during the life of perf.

This is a memory leak.  This patch fixed this bug.
