    PR24327: Remove printing of unused synthetic globals

    The handling of DW_OP_GNU_entry_value introduces synthetic
    global variables that after optimizations may end up not
    being used. The default behaviour is to print out the values
    of unsued globals in user scripts. This printing is intended
    for user defined globals and shouldn't occur with the generated
    globals.


The reproducer works fine now:

$ ../install/bin/stap  -e 'probe kernel.statement("do_sys_open@fs/open.c:*")
{if (@defined($$parms)) printf("%s \n", $$parms); exit()}'
