[PATCH 6.16 014/142] perf symbol-minimal: Fix ehdr reading in filename__read_build_id

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

[ Upstream commit ba0b7081f7a521d7c28b527a4f18666a148471e7 ]

The e_ident is part of the ehdr and so reading it a second time would
mean the read ehdr was displaced by 16-bytes. Switch from stdio to
open/read/lseek syscalls for similarity with the symbol-elf version of
the function and so that later changes can alter then open flags.
