Cache the DWARF debug info for DSO so we don't have to rebuild it for each
address in the DSO.
Note that dso__new() uses calloc() so don't need to set dso->dwfl to NULL.

When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are needed.
Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.
If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.
Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

TODO: For split-debug info objects like glibc, we can only determine
the call-frame-address only when both .eh_frame and .debug_info
sections are available. We should be able to determin the CFA
even without the .eh_frame section.
Fix suggested by Anton Blanchard.
Thanks to valuable input on DWARF debug information from Ulrich Weigand.
