perf buildid-cache: Fix symbolic link handling
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).
