perf diff: Do not overwrite valid build id Fixes a perf diff regression issue which was introduced by commit 5baecbcd9c9a ("perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID") The binary name could be same when perf diff different binaries. Build id is used to distinguish between them. However, the previous patch assumes the same binary name has same build id. So it overwrites the build id according to the binary name, regardless of whether the build id is set or not. Check the has_build_id in dso__load. If the build id is already set, use it.
