Masami Hiramatsu db0d2c6420 perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instances
gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.

Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.

e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg

perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of
sched_group_rt_period().

With this,

Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg
        @<sched_group_rt_period+0>
                struct task_group*      tg

Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.
