[PATCH 1/2] perf core: avoid traverse dsos list while find vdso

[Chenggang Qin]

From: Chenggang Qin <chenggang.qcg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Vdso is only one in a system. It is not necessory to traverse the
macine->user_dsos list while finding the dso of vdso.
The flag vdso_found should be replaced by a pointor that point to the dso of
vdso. If the pointer is NULL, dso of vdso have not been created. Else, the
pointor can be returned directly in function vdso__dso_findnew().
The list traversing can be avoided by this method.
Thanks.
