Subject: [PATCH 12/41] perf symbols: Check if we read regular file in dso__load()

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), 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.

Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the
symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call
symsrc__init() only for regular files.
