Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: read DWARF files from the correct CU

After switching from dwarf_decl_file() to die_get_decl_file(), it is not
possible to add probes for certain functions of certain binaries:

 $ perf probe -x /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind match_unit_removed
 A function DIE doesn't have decl_line. Maybe broken DWARF?
 A function DIE doesn't have decl_line. Maybe broken DWARF?
 Probe point 'match_unit_removed' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

The problem is that die_get_decl_file() uses the wrong CU to search for
the file. elfutils commit e1db5cdc9f has some good explanation for this:

    dwarf_decl_file uses dwarf_attr_integrate to get the DW_AT_decl_file
    attribute. This means the attribute might come from a different DIE
    in a different CU. If so, we need to use the CU associated with the
    attribute, not the original DIE, to resolve the file name.

This patch uses the same source of information as elfutils: use attribute
DW_AT_decl_file and use this CU to search for the file.

Fixes: dc9a5d2ccd5c ("perf probe: Fix to get declared file name from clang DWARF5")
