Subject: [PATCH 06/14] perf tools: Cache dso data file descriptor

Changing the dso__data_close to keep the dso data file
descriptor open if possible.

We keep dsos data file descriptors open until their
count reaches the half of the current fd open limit
(RLIMIT_NOFILE). In this case we close file descriptor
of the first opened dso object.

We've got speed up in dso__data_fd function.

Output from report over 10 GB data with DWARF unwind stacks:
(TODO fix perf diff)

  current code:
   0.16%     perf  perf                       [.] dso__data_fd
  change:
   no record of dso__data_fd

And we got some noticable overall speed up:
(perf perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:u' ...)

  current code:
   291,315,329,878      cycles                     ( +-  0.22% )
   391,763,485,304      instructions               ( +-  0.03% )

     180.742249687 seconds time elapsed            ( +-  0.64% )

  change:
   228,948,088,958      cycles                     ( +-  0.20% )
   324,936,504,336      instructions               ( +-  0.02% )

     133.789677792 seconds time elapsed            ( +-  0.76% )
