Ingo Molnar 038e836e97 perf_counter, x86: Fix kernel-space call-chains
Kernel-space call-chains were trimmed at the first entry because
we never processed anything beyond the first stack context.

Allow the backtrace to jump from NMI to IRQ stack then to task stack
and finally user-space stack.

Also calculate the stack and bp variables correctly so that the
stack walker does not exit early.

We can get deep traces as a result, visible in perf report -D output:

0x32af0 [0xe0]: PERF_EVENT (IP, 5): 15134: 0xffffffff815225fd period: 1
... chain: u:2, k:22, nr:24
.....  0: 0xffffffff815225fd
.....  1: 0xffffffff810ac51c
.....  2: 0xffffffff81018e29
.....  3: 0xffffffff81523939
.....  4: 0xffffffff81524b8f
.....  5: 0xffffffff81524bd9
.....  6: 0xffffffff8105e498
.....  7: 0xffffffff8152315a
.....  8: 0xffffffff81522c3a
.....  9: 0xffffffff810d9b74
..... 10: 0xffffffff810dbeec
..... 11: 0xffffffff810dc3fb

This is a 22-entries kernel-space chain.

(We still only record reliable stack entries.)
