[PATCH 2/9] perf tools: Check if we read regular file in dso__load

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Feb 15 2018 - 07:26:51 EST


Current code in dso__load calls the is_regular_file function,
but it checks its return value only after calling symsrc__init.

That can make symsrc__init block in elf_* functions on reading
the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one.

Calling symsrc__init only for regular files. Also removing
the symsrc__destroy cleanup, which is not needed now, because
we call symsrc__init only for regular files.
