[PATCH v3 0/2] perf tool: improves DSO long names search speed with RB tree

[Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com>]

v2->v3:
  - Move the rbtree linking operation from dso__set_long_name() to
    dsos__add(), where the list_add() operation was done.
  - Add a second patch to remove the linked list and iterates the
    DSO structures by going through them in the rbtree. This requires
    changes in quite a number of files, but it makes for neater code.
  - Rebased to the 3.17-rc5 kernel.

v1->v2:
 - Rename DSO longname RBtree find function to segregate its two
   different uses of searching and linking DSO into RB tree.

This patch set replaces the list that is linking the DSO structures
of the perf tool by rbtree sorted by its long name. This can
significantly speed up DSO processing when a large number of DSOs
are beining profiled.
