Masami Hiramatsu 082f96a93e perf probe: Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE
Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE which has location or
external instance by tracking down the lexical blocks.

Current die_find_variable() expects that the all variable DIEs
which has DW_TAG_variable have a location. However, since recent
dwarf information may have declaration variable DIEs at the
entry of function (subprogram), die_find_variable() returns it.

To solve this problem, it must track down the DIE tree to find
a DIE which has an actual location or a reference for external
instance.

e.g. finding a DIE which origin is <0xdc73>;

 <1><11496>: Abbrev Number: 95 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
    <11497>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc42>
    <1149b>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x1850
[...]
 <2><114cc>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this is a declaration
    <114cd>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73>
 <2><114d1>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable)
[...]
 <3><115a7>: Abbrev Number: 105 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
    <115a8>   DW_AT_ranges      : 0xaa0
 <4><115ac>: Abbrev Number: 96 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this has a location
    <115ad>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73>
    <115b1>   DW_AT_location    : 0x486c        (location list)
