perf tools: Cache dso data file descriptor
Caching dso data file descriptors to avoid expensive re-opens
especially during DWARF unwind.
We keep dsos data file descriptors open until their count reaches
the half of the current fd open limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). In this case
we close file descriptor of the first opened dso object.
We've got overall speedup (~27% for my workload) of report:
'perf report --stdio -i perf-test.data' (3 runs)
(perf-test.data size was around 12GB)
current code:
545,640,944,228 cycles ( +- 0.53% )
785,255,798,320 instructions ( +- 0.03% )
366.340910010 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.65% )
after change:
435,895,036,114 cycles ( +- 0.26% )
