[BUGFIX PATCH 0/6] perf/probe: Additional fixes for range only functions

Hi Arnaldo,

Here are some bugfixes for the bugs you found in previous series
and similar one.

I found that there are some dwarf_entrypc() related bugs in perf
probe and fixed all except one special add-hoc code in
convert_variable_location()(*).

This time I embedded before-and-after examples in each commit.
Please check it how to reproduce it.

(*) This had been introduced for fixup fentry related gcc bug,
see commit 3d918a12a1b3 ("perf probe: Find fentry mcount fuzzed
parameter location") for detail. Nowadays gcc already fixed
this issue and this seems like a dead code. Moreover, it is not
sure such old gcc can generate DIE without entry_pc attribute.
So I decided not to touch it.

Thank you,
