[PATCH v2 1/4] perf: support specify vdso path in cmdline

The vdso dumped from process memory (in buildid-cache) lacks debugging
info. To annotate vdso symbols with source lines we need specify a
debugging version.

For x86, we can find them from your local build as
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so.dbg. Or they may reside in
/lib/modules/<version>/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so on Ubuntu. But notice that
the buildid has to match.

$ sudo perf record -a
$ sudo perf report --objdump=llvm-objdump \
--vdso arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg,arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

Samples: 17K of event 'cycles:P', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 1760
__vdso_clock_gettime /work/linux-host/arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.d
Percent│ movq -48(%rbp),%rsi
│ testq %rax,%rax
│ ; return vread_hvclock();
│ movq %rax,%rdx
│ ; if (unlikely(!vdso_cycles_ok(cycles)))
│ ↑ js eb
│ ↑ jmp 74
│ ; ts->tv_sec = vdso_ts->sec;
0.02 │147: leaq 2(%rbx),%rax
│ shlq $4, %rax
│ addq %r10,%rax
│ ; while ((seq = READ_ONCE(vd->seq)) & 1) {
9.38 │152: movl (%r10),%ecx

When doing cross platform analysis, we also need specify the vdso path if
we are interested in its symbols.
