When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples. During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name. But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the ~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users. This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name, not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.
