Subject: perf report: Fix a no annotate browser displayed issue

From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 40c39e3046411f84bab82f66783ff3593e2bcd9b ]

When enabling '-b' option in perf record, for example,

  perf record -b ...
  perf report

and then browsing the annotate browser from perf report (press 'A'), it
would fail (annotate browser can't be displayed).

It's because the '.add_entry_cb' op of struct report is overwritten by
hist_iter__branch_callback() in builtin-report.c. But this function doesn't do
something like mapping symbols and sources. So next, do_annotate() will return
directly.

        notes = symbol__annotation(act->ms.sym);
        if (!notes->src)
                return 0;

This patch adds the lost code to hist_iter__branch_callback (refer to
hist_iter__report_callback).

v2:

Fix a crash bug when perform 'perf report --stdio'.

The reason is that we init the symbol annotation only in browser mode, it
doesn't allocate/init resources for stdio mode.

So now in hist_iter__branch_callback(), it will return directly if it's not in
browser mode.
