Subject: [PATCH 07/12] perf probe: Fix to walk all inline instances

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@...achi.com>

Fix line-range collector to walk all instances of inlined function,
because some execution paths can be optimized out depending on the
function argument of instances.

E.g.)
inline_func (arg) {
	if (arg)
		do_something;
	else
		do_another;
}

func_A() {
	inline_func(1)
}

func_B() {
	inline_func(0)
}

In this case, func_A may have only do_something code and func_B may have
only do_another.
