Masami Hiramatsu 7737af010b perf probe: Speed up perf probe --list by caching debuginfo
Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo.
perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe
list. This takes very a long time.

E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes)

  [root@localhost perf]# time  ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

  real    0m25.376s
  user    0m24.381s
  sys     0m1.012s

To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the
last used debuginfo on memory.

With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves
its speed.

  [root@localhost perf]#  time  ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

  real    0m0.161s
  user    0m0.136s
  sys     0m0.025s
