In dso__load_sym we only try to load the .debug_frame section from the
runtime image. For distros, the debug symbols are generally in a
separate file.
As a result, running perf report on arm64 can give errors such as:
"$file with build id $id not found, continuing without symbols"
Even when the debug symbols have been correctly installed (and loaded
by perf).
This patch adds logic to dso__load_sym to query syms_ss for the
.debug_frame section if it can't be found in the elf file pointed to by
runtime_ss.
