perf/x86: Make perf callchains work without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER

Browse Source 
Currently perf callchain doesn't work well with ORC unwinder
when sampling from trace point. We'll get useless in kernel callchain
like this:

perf  6429 [000]    22.498450:             kmem:mm_page_alloc: page=0x176a17 pfn=1534487 order=0 migratetype=0 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL
    ffffffffbe23e32e __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x22e (/lib/modules/5.1.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux)
	7efdf7f7d3e8 __poll+0x18 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
	5651468729c1 [unknown] (/usr/bin/perf)
	5651467ee82a main+0x69a (/usr/bin/perf)
	7efdf7eaf413 __libc_start_main+0xf3 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
    5541f689495641d7 [unknown] ([unknown])

The root cause is that, for trace point events, it doesn't provide a
real snapshot of the hardware registers. Instead perf tries to get
required caller's registers and compose a fake register snapshot
which suppose to contain enough information for start a unwinding.
However without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, if failed to get caller's BP as the
frame pointer, so current frame pointer is returned instead. We get
a invalid register combination which confuse the unwinder, and end the
stacktrace early.

So in such case just don't try dump BP, and let the unwinder start
directly when the register is not a real snapshot. Use SP
as the skip mark, unwinder will skip all the frames until it meet
the frame of the trace point caller.

Tested with frame pointer unwinder and ORC unwinder, this makes perf
callchain get the full kernel space stacktrace again like this:
