perf core: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting
via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.

A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also
introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain
implementation by some arch.

perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack:
Controls maximum number of stack frame context entries for
(attr.sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN) configured events, for
instance, when using 'perf record -g' or 'perf trace --call-graph fp'.
This can only be done when no events are in use that have callchains
enabled, otherwise writing to this file will return -EBUSY.
The default value is 8.
