[PATCH 1/3] perf unwind: Use addr_location::addr instead of ip for entries

This fixes the srcline translation for call chains of user space
applications.

Before we got:

perf report --stdio --no-children -s sym,srcline -g address
8.92% [.] main mandelbrot.h:41

--3.32%--__muldc3 +139950060519512
main +8390224

With this patch applied, we instead get:

perf report --stdio --no-children -s sym,srcline -g address
