In find_data_type(), it creates and deletes a debug info whenver it
tries to find data type for a sample. This is inefficient and it most
likely accesses the same binary again and again.
Let's add a single entry cache the debug info structure for the last DSO.
Depending on sample data, it usually gives me 2~3x (and sometimes more)
speed ups.
Note that this will introduce a little difference in the output due to
the order of checking stack operations. It used to check the stack ops
before checking the availability of debug info but I moved it after the
symbol check. So it'll report stack operations in DSOs without debug
info as unknown. But I think it's ok and better to have the checking
near the caching logic.

v2) add an assertion for the single-threaded case.

Perhaps:
/*
* di_cache holds a pair of values, but code below assumes
di_cache.dso can be compared/updated and di_cache.dbg can be
read/updated independently from each other. That assumption only holds
in single threaded code.
