[ Upstream commit 3cb17cce1e76ccc5499915a4d7e095a1ad6bf7ff ]

If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be
a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the
'Constant value' execution path.

The following cases can trigger this problem:

	$ cat test.c
	#include <stdio.h>

	void main(void)
	{
	        int a;
	        const int b = 1;

	        asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
	        printf("a: %d\n", a);
	}

	$ gcc test.c -o test -O -g
	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main"
	<main@/home/lhf/test.c:0>
	      0  void main(void)
	         {
	      2          int a;
	                 const int b = 1;

	                 asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
	      6          printf("a: %d\n", a);
	         }

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
	Segmentation fault

The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0
to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully
show the variables that can be accessed.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
	Available variables at main:6
	        @<main+13>
	                char*   __fmt
	                int     a
	                int     b

However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
	Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address.
	 Perhaps it has been optimized out.
	 Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range.
	  Error: Failed to add events.

This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match
variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of
DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in
__die_find_variable_cb(). With this modification, we can successfully
track the variable 'b'.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
	p:probe_test/main_L6 /home/lhf/test:0x1156 b=\1:s32
