On one hand this ensures that the memory is properly freed when
the DSO gets freed. On the other hand this significantly speeds up
the processing of the callchain nodes when lots of srclines are
requested. For one of my data files e.g.:

Note that the difference is only this large when `--inline` is not
passed. In such situations, we would use the inliner cache and
thus do not run this code path that often.
I think that this cache should actually be used in other places, too.
When looking at the valgrind leak report for perf report, we see tons
of srclines being leaked, most notably from calls to
hist_entry__get_srcline. The problem is that get_srcline has many
different formatting options (show_sym, show_addr, potentially even
unwind_inlines when calling __get_srcline directly). As such, the
srcline cannot easily be cached for all calls, or we'd have to add
caches for all formatting combinations (6 so far). An alternative
would be to remove the formatting options and handle that on a
different level - i.e. print the sym/addr on demand wherever we
actually output something. And the unwind_inlines could be moved into
a separate function that does not return the srcline.
