[ Upstream commit 68566a7cf56bf3148797c218ed45a9de078ef47c ]
Synthesized MMAP events have zero ino_generation, so do not compare
them to DSOs with a real ino_generation otherwise we end up with a DSO
without a build id.
Fixes: 0e3149f86b99ddab ("perf dso: Move dso_id from 'struct map' to 'struct dso'")
