perf symbols: Avoid resolving [kernel.kallsyms] to real path for buildid cache
kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms].  Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.

Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.
