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)
