perf symbols: only set vmlinux longname & mark loaded if really loaded
dso__load_vmlinux() uses the filename passed to it to directly set the dso long_name, which resulted in a use after free due to dso__load_vmlinux_path() treating 0 symbols as a load failure and subsequently freeing the contents of dso->long_name. Change dso__load_vmlinux() so that finding 0 symbols does not cause it to consider itself loaded, and do not set long_name in such a case.
