perf tools: Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly
Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two
changes;
- Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target
file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic
link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink.
- Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory),
including symlink.
Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second
fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.
