[PATCH 07/23] perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger
the dump of the user level stack on sample. The size of the
dump is specified by sample_stack_user value.

Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the
stack pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI
based stack unwinding.
