Masami Hiramatsu 3f4460a28f perf probe: Filter out redundant inline-instances
With gcc4.6, some instances of concrete inlined function looks redundant
and broken, because it appears inside of a concrete instance and its
call_file and call_line are same as the original abstruct's decl_file
and decl_line respectively.

e.g.
 [  d1aa]    subprogram
             external             (flag) Yes
             name                 (strp) "add_timer"
             decl_file            (data1) 2		;here is original
             decl_line            (data2) 847		;line and file
             prototyped           (flag) Yes
             inline               (data1) inlined (1)
             sibling              (ref4) [  d1c6]
...
 [ 11d84]    subprogram
             abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1aa]	; concrete instance
             low_pc               (addr) .text+0x000000000000246f <add_timer>
             high_pc              (addr) .text+0x000000000000248b <mod_timer_pending>
             frame_base           (block1)               [   0] call_frame_cfa
             sibling              (ref4) [ 11dd9]
 [ 11d9f]      formal_parameter
               abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1b9]
               location             (data4) location list [  701b]
 [ 11da8]      inlined_subroutine
               abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1aa]	; redundant instance
               low_pc               (addr) .text+0x000000000000247e <add_timer+0xf>
               high_pc              (addr) .text+0x0000000000002480 <add_timer+0x11>
               call_file            (data1) 2		; call line and file
               call_line            (data2) 847		; are same as above

Those redundant instances leads unwilling results;

e.g. find probe points inside of functions even if we specify
a function entry as below;

$ perf probe -V add_timer
Available variables at add_timer
        @<add_timer+0>
                struct timer_list*      timer
        @<add_timer+15>
                (No matched variables)

So, this filters out those redundant instances based on call-site and
decl-site information.
