Masami Hiramatsu 221d061182 perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scope
Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;

$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
      0  static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
         {
      2         if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
      3                 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
         }

However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                int     cpu
                long unsigned int*      switch_count
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev

This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev
