perf buildid-cache: Fix symbolic link handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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).
