[PATCH 06/11] perf callchain: Stop validating callchains by the max_stack sysctl

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

As thread__resolve_callchain_sample can be used for handling perf.data
files, that could've been recorded with a large max_stack sysctl setting
than what the system used for analysis has set.
