Subject: [PATCH -tip v2 4/9] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Fix to walk all inline
 instances

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