Subject: [PATCH perf/core v9 02/16] perf symbol: Cleanup the code flow of dso__find_kallsyms

Cleanup the code flow of dso__find_kallsyms() to remove
redundant checking code and add some comment for readability.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

 Changes in v9:
  - Split into filename__readable() and others.

 Changes in v8:
  - Add comments why we can't use access(R_OK) for /proc/kcore access.
