[RFC][PATCH 1/3] power: perf: Enable saving the user stack in a sample.

When requested, have the kernel save the user stack in each perf sample
so 'perf report' can use libunwind and produce better backtraces.
The downside of course is that the kernel has to copy the user-stack
on each sample which has both performance and file-size implications
(of the perf.data file).
But we save the user-stack only when user explicitly requests it:
perf record --call-graph=dwarf,8192 <application>
