perf script: Fix export of callchains with recursion in db-export

When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than
once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because
the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created.

To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL
symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started
traversing the callchain.

This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate
IPs are present in the callchain.
