To ensure the stack frames are on the stack tail calls optimizations
need to be inhibited. If your compiler supports an attribute use it,
otherwise use an asm volatile barrier.
The barrier fix was suggested here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201028081123.GT2628@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
Tested with an optimized clang build and by forcing the asm barrier
route with an optimized clang build.
A GCC bug tracking a proper disable_tail_calls is:

Fixes: 9ae1e990f1 ("perf tools: Remove broken __no_tail_call
attribute")
v2. is a rebase. The original fix patch generated quite a lot of
discussion over the right place for the fix:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201114000803.909530-1-irogers@google.com/
The patch reflects my preference of it being near the use, so that
future code cleanups don't break this somewhat special usage.
