[PATCH 1/7] Re-write partial_die_info allocation in load_partial_dies


load_partial_dies has a "while (1)" loop to visit each die, and create
partial_die_info if needed in each iteration, like this,

  part_die = XOBNEW (&cu->comp_unit_obstack, struct partial_die_info);

  while (1)
   {
      if (foo1) continue;

      if (foo2) continue;

      read_partial_die (, , part_die, ,);

      ....
      part_die = XOBNEW (&cu->comp_unit_obstack, struct partial_die_info);
   };

the code was written in a way that spaces are allocated on necessary on
cu->comp_unit_obstack.  I want to class-fy partial_die_info, but
partial_die_info ctor can't follow XOBNEW immediately, so this patch
rewrite this loop to:

  while (1)
   {
      if (foo1) continue;

      if (foo2) continue;

      struct partial_die_info pdi;
      read_partial_die (, , &pdi, ,);

      part_die = XOBNEW (&cu->comp_unit_obstack, struct partial_die_info);
      memcpy (part_die, &pdi, sizeof (pdi));
   };

we create a local variable pdi, if we need it, call XOBNEW, and copy.
This also reduce one XOBNEW call.  I measured the number of XOBNEW call in
load_partial_dies when gdb reads dwarf2read.o, without this patch, it is
18827, and with this patch, it is 18826.
