I have changed it a bit in the latest posting.  It was originally
for two purposes:
	1. to prevent repeatedly attempting to open a file that
was not there (very time consuming if you do it millions of times)
	2. to report the error exactly once

But I realized it did not meet the 2nd objective so I have added
another patch that does.  See "perf tools: Add dso__data_status_seen()"

I made that change too.
