[PATCH 07/12] perf core: Generalize max_stack sysctl handler

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the
upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample.

In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf
sessions collecting stacks, so they need to grab that mutex, etc.
