Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] perf annotate: Don't prepend symfs path to vmlinux path

This fix works for my use case of supplying both '--symfs' and '--vmlinux'
options, and should be harmless if '--symfs' is not specified, but I suspect
it could cause problems if '--symfs' is specified without '--vmlinux', as
the symfs path will no longer be prepended and vmlinux may no longer be found.

Would appreciate any insights on a better approach to fix fix the issue.

Regards,
MV
