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.

Seems ok, problem was introduced in:
commit 68a7a771ad0e2959983729bf88cbc74a7014438f
Author: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>
Date: Fri Dec 10 22:06:26 2010 +0100
perf buildid-cache: Fix symbolic link handling
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).

So I'll add a CC: stable@kernel.org when pushing to perf/urgent.
