perf symbol-minimal: Fix double free in filename__read_build_id

Running the "perf script task-analyzer tests" with address sanitizer
showed a double free:
```
FAIL: "test_csv_extended_times" Error message: "Failed to find required string:'Out-Out;'."

```

The buf_size if always set to phdr->p_filesz, but that may be 0
causing a free and realloc to return NULL. This is treated in
filename__read_build_id like a failure and the buffer is freed again.

To avoid this problem only grow buf, meaning the buf_size will never
be 0. This also reduces the number of memory (re)allocations.
