[PATCH 3/4] perf buildid-cache: Fix symbolic link handling

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org>]

From: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>

This was broken since link(2) doesn't dereference symbolic
links. Instead 'filename' becomes a symbolic link to the same file
that 'name' refers to.

This had the bad effect to create dangling symlinks in the case that
even can't be removed with perf-buildid-cache(1).
