We will expand perf diff to support diff cycles of individual programs blocks, so it requires all data files having branch stacks.
This patch checks HEADER_BRANCH_STACK in header, and only set the flag has_br_stack when HEADER_BRANCH_STACK are set in all data files. v2: --- Move check_file_brstack() from __cmd_diff() to cmd_diff(). Because later patch will check flag 'has_br_stack' before ui_init().
