Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf unwind: Report module before querying isactivation in dwfl unwind

From: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@...b.com>

The PC returned by dwfl_frame_pc() may map into a not-yet-reported
module. We have to report it before we continue unwinding. But when we
query for the isactivation flag in dwfl_frame_pc, libdw will actually do
one more unwinding step internally which can then break and lead to
missed frames or broken stacks.

With libunwind we get e.g.:

Note the two frames 1589e8 and 78622 in the first sample. These are
missing when unwinding with libdw. The second sample's breakage is
more obvious:

This patch fixes this issue and the libdw unwinder mimicks the libunwind
behavior more closely.
