From: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z....@intel.com>
Only enable LBR callstack when user requires fp callgraph. The feature
is not available when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK or PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER
is required.
Also, this feature only affects how to get user callchain. The kernel
callchain is always got by frame pointers.
