perf tools: Don't read build-ids from non-regular files

Simplify the build ID reading code by removing the non-blocking option.
Having to pass the correct option to this function was fragile and a
mistake would result in a hang, see the linked fix. Furthermore,
compressed files are always opened blocking anyway, ignoring the
non-blocking option.

We also don't expect to read build IDs from non-regular files. The only
hits to this function that are non-regular are devices that won't be elf
files with build IDs, for example "/dev/dri/renderD129".

Now instead of opening these as non-blocking and failing to read, we
skip them. Even if something like a pipe or character device did have a
build ID, I don't think it would have worked because you need to call
read() in a loop, check for -EAGAIN and handle timeouts to make
non-blocking reads work.
