Subject: [PATCH 5.18 0896/1095] perf tools: Fix dso_id inode generation comparison

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 68566a7cf56bf3148797c218ed45a9de078ef47c ]

Synthesized MMAP events have zero ino_generation, so do not compare
them to DSOs with a real ino_generation otherwise we end up with a DSO
without a build id.

Fixes: 0e3149f86b99ddab ("perf dso: Move dso_id from 'struct map' to 'struct dso'")
