    89b07335fe ("Add dwarf2_per_objfile to dwarf_expr_context and dwarf2_frame_cache")

I replaced the offset property of dwarf_expr_context by a per_objfile
property (since we can get the text offset from the objfile).  The
previous code in dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc::push_dwarf_reg_entry_value
(dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc derives from dwarf_expr_context) did
temporarily override the offset property while evaluating a DWARF
sub-expression.  I speculated that this sub-expression always came from
the same objfile as the outer expression, so I didn't see the need to
temporarily override the per_objfile property in the new code.  A later
commit:

    9f47c70716 ("Remove dwarf2_per_cu_data::objfile ()")

added the following assertion to verify this:

    gdb_assert (this->per_objfile == caller_per_objfile);

It turns out that this is not true.  Call sites can refer to function in
another objfile, and therefore the caller's objfile can be different
from the callee's objfile.  This can happen when the call site DIE in the
DWARF represents a function call done through a function pointer.  The
DIE can't describe statically which function is being called, since it's
variable and not known at compile time.  Instead, it provides an
expression that evaluates to the address of the function being called.
In this case, the called function can very well be in a separate
objfile.

Fix this by overriding the per_objfile property while evaluating the
sub-expression.

This was exposed by the gdb.base/catch-load.exp test failing on openSUSE
Tumbleweed with the glibc debug info installed.  It was also reported to
fail on Fedora.

When I investigated the problem, the particular call site on which we
did hit the assert was coming from this DIE, in
/usr/lib/debug/lib64/libc-2.31.so-2.31-5.1.x86_64.debug on openSUSE
Tumbleweed:

    0x0091aa10:     DW_TAG_GNU_call_site
                      DW_AT_low_pc [DW_FORM_addr]   (0x00000000001398e0)
                      DW_AT_GNU_call_site_target [DW_FORM_exprloc]  (DW_OP_fbreg -272, DW_OP_deref)
                      DW_AT_sibling [DW_FORM_ref4]  (0x0091aa2b)

And for you curious out there, this call site is found in this function:

    0x0091a91d:   DW_TAG_subprogram
                    DW_AT_external [DW_FORM_flag_present]   (true)
                    DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_strp]       ("_dl_catch_exception")
                    DW_AT_decl_file [DW_FORM_data1] ("/usr/src/debug/glibc-2.31-5.1.x86_64/elf/dl-error-skeleton.c")
                    ...

Which is a function that indeed uses a function pointer.
