[PATCH] perf callchain: Compare dsos (as well) for CCKEY_FUNCTION

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Wed Oct 04 2017 - 23:51:58 EST


Two functions from different binaries can have same start
address. Thus, comparing only start address in match_chain()
leads to inconsistent callchains. Fix this by adding a check
for dsos as well.
