Subject: [PATCH v1 07/23] perf powerpc: Unify the skip-callchain-idx libdw
 with that for addr2line

Rather than have 2 Dwfl unify the Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx with that
is used by libdw__addr2line. Rename that variable in struct dso from
a2l_libdw to just libdw as it is now used in more than addr2line.

The Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx uses a map address when being read with
dwfl_report_elf (rather than dwfl_report_offline that addr2line
uses). skip-callchain-idx is wrong as the map address can vary between
processes because of ASLR, ie it should need a different Dwfl per
process. In the code after this patch the base address becomes 0 and
the mapped PC is used with the dwfl functions. This should increase
the accuracy of skip-callchain-idx, but the impact has only been build
tested.
