Ian Rogers fa9c4977fb perf symbol-minimal: Fix double free in filename__read_build_id
Running the "perf script task-analyzer tests" with address sanitizer
showed a double free:
```
FAIL: "test_csv_extended_times" Error message: "Failed to find required string:'Out-Out;'."

==19190==ABORTING

```

The buf_size if always set to phdr->p_filesz, but that may be 0
causing a free and realloc to return NULL. This is treated in
filename__read_build_id like a failure and the buffer is freed again.

To avoid this problem only grow buf, meaning the buf_size will never
be 0. This also reduces the number of memory (re)allocations.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
