perf symbols: Fix vdso list searching

When "perf record" was used on a large machine with a lot of CPUs, the
perf post-processing time (the time after the workload was done until
the perf command itself exited) could take a lot of minutes and even
hours depending on how large the resulting perf.data file was.

While running AIM7 1500-user high_systime workload on a 80-core x86-64
system with a 3.9 kernel (with only the -s -a options used), the
workload itself took about 2 minutes to run and the perf.data file had a
size of 1108.746 MB. However, the post-processing step took more than 10
minutes.

With a gprof-profiled perf binary, the time spent by perf was as
follows:

  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls   s/call   s/call  name
 96.90    822.10   822.10   192156     0.00     0.00  dsos__find
  0.81    828.96     6.86 172089958     0.00     0.00  rb_next
  0.41    832.44     3.48 48539289     0.00     0.00  rb_erase

So 97% (822 seconds) of the time was spent in a single dsos_find()
function. After analyzing the call-graph data below:

 [8]     96.9  822.10    0.00  192156         dsos__find [8]
 -----------------------------------------------

It was found that the vdso__dso_findnew() function failed to locate
VDSO__MAP_NAME ("[vdso]") in the dso list and have to insert a new
entry at the end for 192156 times. This problem is due to the fact that
there are 2 types of name in the dso entry - short name and long name.
The initial dso__new() adds "[vdso]" to both the short and long names.
After that, vdso__dso_findnew() modifies the long name to something
like /tmp/perf-vdso.so-NoXkDj. The dsos__find() function only compares
the long name. As a result, the same vdso entry is duplicated many
time in the dso list. This bug increases memory consumption as well
as slows the symbol processing time to a crawl.

To resolve this problem, the dsos__find() function interface was
modified to enable searching either the long name or the short
name. The vdso__dso_findnew() will now search only the short name
while the other call sites search for the long name as before.

With this change, the cpu time of perf was reduced from 848.38s to
15.77s and dsos__find() only accounted for 0.06% of the total time.
