[PATCH v2] perf: unwind: Fix symfs with libdw

[PATCH v2] perf: unwind: Fix symfs with libdw

[Vincent Whitchurch]

Pass the full path including the symfs (if any) to libdw.  Without this
unwinding fails with errors like this when a symfs is used:

  unwind: failed with 'No such file or directory'"

I posted this last year but didn't receive any comments.  This patch is
still needed in current mainline so here is a rebased version, fixing
some merge conflicts.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased to v6.4.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221125112743.2285759-1-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com/

Sorry that you didn't get any feedback.  Looks like a real problem.

In general, you'd better base your perf tools changes on the
perf/perf-tools (for fixes) or perf/perf-tools-next (for new features)
in git.kernel.org.  But it seems this change applies cleanly.

As __symbol__join_symfs() will have dso->long_name when symfs
is not set, I don't think it changes the behavior, so

Applied to perf-tools-next, thanks!
