Jiri Olsa 7dbf4dcfe2 perf tools: Back [vdso] DSO with real data
Storing data for VDSO shared object, because we need it for the post
unwind processing.

The VDSO shared object is same for all process on a running system, so
it makes no difference when we store it inside the tracer - perf.

When [vdso] map memory is hit, we retrieve [vdso] DSO image and store it
into temporary file.

During the build-id processing phase, the [vdso] DSO image is stored in
build-id db, and build-id reference is made inside perf.data. The
build-id vdso file object is called '[vdso]'. We don't use temporary
file name which gets removed when record is finished.

During report phase the vdso build-id object is treated as any other
build-id DSO object.

Adding following API for vdso object:

  bool is_vdso_map(const char *filename)
    - returns true if the filename matches vdso map name

  struct dso *vdso__dso_findnew(struct list_head *head)
    - find/create proper vdso DSO object

  vdso__exit(void)
    - removes temporary VDSO image if there's any

This change makes backtrace dwarf post unwind possible from [vdso] maps.

Following output is current report of [vdso] sample dwarf backtrace:

  # Overhead  Command      Shared Object                         Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  .............................
  #
      99.52%       ex  [vdso]             [.] 0x00007fff3ace89af
                   |
                   --- 0x7fff3ace89af
