Subject: [PATCH] perf annotate: Work with vmlinux outside symfs
Date:   Fri, 25 Nov 2022 12:42:09 +0100

It is currently possible to use --symfs along with a vmlinux which lies
outside of the symfs by passing an absolute path to --vmlinux, thanks to
the check in dso__load_vmlinux() which handles this explicitly.

However, the annotate code lacks this check and thus perf annotate does
not work ("Internal error: Invalid -1 error code") for kernel functions
with this combination.  Add the missing handling.
