Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: take in account symfs setting when reading file build ID

After 5baecbc 'perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on
a build ID' and when --symfs option is used perf failed to pick up symbols for
file with the same name between host and sysroot specified by --symfs option.
One can see message like this:

bin/bash with build id 26f0062cb6950d4d1ab0fd9c43eae8b10ca42062 not found, continuing without symbols

It happens because code added by 5baecbc opens files directly by dso->long_name
without symbol_conf.symfs consideration, which as result picks one from the
host. It reads its build ID and later even code finds another proper file in
directory pointed by --symfs perf ignores it because build id mismatches.

Fix is to use __symbol__join_symfs to adjust file name according to --symfs
setting. If no --symfs passed the operation would noop and picks the same host
file as before.

Also note in latter tree after 5baecbc commit additional check for
'!dso->has_build_id' was added, so to observe error condition 'perf record'
should run with --no-buildid, so perf.data itself would not have build id for
target binary in buildid perf section and 'perf report' will pass
'!dso->has_build_id' condition. Or target binary should not have build id, but
the same binary on host has build id, again '!dso->has_build_id' will pass in
this case and incorrect build id could be read if --symfs is used.

Fixes: 5baecbcd9c9a ("perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID")
