Milian Wolff b38775cf76 perf report: Cache failed lookups of inlined frames
When no inlined frames could be found for a given address, we did not
store this information anywhere. That means we potentially do the costly
inliner lookup repeatedly for cases where we know it can never succeed.

This patch makes dso__parse_addr_inlines always return a valid
inline_node. It will be empty when no inliners are found. This enables
us to cache the empty list in the DSO, thereby improving the performance
when many addresses fail to find the inliners.

For my trivial example, the performance impact is already quite
significant:

Before:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
