9eff26ea48 powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
to get correct call-graphs.

It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.  If it was in C, gcc might
or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
of levels we have to skip.

With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like
this:

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
