[PATCH 07/52] perf dwarf-aux: Add die_find_variable_by_reg() helper

[Namhyung Kim]

The die_find_variable_by_reg() will search for a variable or a parameter
sub-DIE in the given scope DIE where the location matches to the given
register.

For the simpliest and most common case, memory access usually happens
with a base register and an offset to the field so the register would
hold a pointer in a variable or function parameter.  Then we can find
one if it has a location expression at the (instruction) address.  So
this function only handles such a simple case for now.

In this case, the expression would have a DW_OP_regN operation where
N < 32.  If the register index (N) is greater than or equal to 32,
DW_OP_regx operation with an operand which saves the value for the N
would be used.  It would reject expressions with more operations.
