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.
