[PATCH 2/2] perf annotate: Fix warning message on vmlinux

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

When perf report runs with perf.data which was recorded on a different
kernel, it fails to run annotate browser with the kernel symbol and it
recommends to run perf buildid-cache with proper vmlinux.

But running perf buildid-cache -av vmlinux as the message gives me
a following error:

  $ perf buildid-cache -av /home/namhyung/build/kernel/vmlinux
  Couldn't add v: No such file or directory

Since the -a option receives a parameter, 'v' should not be after the
option.

In addition -a option is not work for this case since the build-id
cache already has a kallsyms with same build-id so it'll fail with
EEXIST.  Use recently added -u (--update) option for it.
