perf tools powerpc: Cache the DWARF debug info

Cache the DWARF debug info for DSO so we don't have to rebuild it for each
address in the DSO.

Note that dso__new() uses calloc() so don't need to set dso->dwfl to NULL.

Changelog[v2]:

[Arnaldo Carvalho] Cache in existing global objects rather than create
                   new static/globals in functions.
