Subject: [PATCH 10/10] perf tools: Check if we read regular file in dso__load

Current code in dso__load calls the is_regular_file function,
but it checks its return value only after calling symsrc__init.

That can make symsrc__init block in elf_* functions on reading
the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one.

Make the check before calling symsrc__init.
