perf-probe crash in dwarf_getcfi_elf

From: David Ahern

Hi Namhyung:

Using perf-probe from top of Linus' tree I get a segfault on both Fedora 16 and 18 (does not crash on Fedora 20). Command used is:

perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so -a 'malloc size=%di'

git bisect points to:

commit 03d89412981a7681971bc77edba1669595763030

perf probe: Use dwarf_getcfi_elf() instead of dwarf_getcfi()
