perf annotate-data: Update stack slot for the store



When checking the match variable at the target instruction, it might not
have any information if it's a first write to a stack slot.  In this
case it could spill a register value into the stack so the type info is
in the source operand.

But currently it's hard to get the operand from the checking function.
Let's process the instruction and retry to get the type info from the
stack if there's no information already.

This is an example of __tcp_transmit_skb().  The instructions are

  <__tcp_transmit_skb>:
   0: nopl   0x0(%rax, %rax, 1)
   5: push   %rbp
   6: mov    %rsp, %rbp
   9: push   %r15
   b: push   %r14
   d: push   %r13
   f: push   %r12
  11: push   %rbx
  12: sub    $0x98, %rsp
  19: mov    %r8d, -0xa8(%rbp)
  ...

It cannot find any variable at -0xa8(%rbp) at this point.
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  find data type for -0xa8(reg6) at __tcp_transmit_skb+0x19
  CU for net/ipv4/tcp_output.c (die:0x817f543)
  frame base: cfa=0 fbreg=6
  scope: [1/1] (die:81aac3e)
  bb: [0 - 19]
  var [0] -0x98(stack) type='struct tcp_out_options' size=0x28 (die:0x81af3df)
  var [5] reg8 type='unsigned int' size=0x4 (die:0x8180ed6)
  var [5] reg2 type='unsigned int' size=0x4 (die:0x8180ed6)
  var [5] reg1 type='int' size=0x4 (die:0x818059e)
  var [5] reg4 type='struct sk_buff*' size=0x8 (die:0x8181360)
  var [5] reg5 type='struct sock*' size=0x8 (die:0x8181a0c)
  chk [19] reg6 offset=-0xa8 ok=0 kind=0 fbreg : no type information
  no type information

And it was able to find the type after processing the 'mov' instruction.
