perf symbols: Allow forcing reading of non-root owned files by root
When the root user tries to read a file owned by some other user we get: # ls -la perf.data -rw-------. 1 acme acme 20032 Nov 12 15:50 perf.data # perf report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf report -f | grep -v ^# | head -2 30.96% ls [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_set_pte 28.24% ls libc-2.20.so [.] intel_check_word # That wasn't happening when the symbol code tried to read a JIT map, where the same check was done but no forcing was possible, fix it.
