[PATCH V2 07/13] perf machine: Refine the function for LBR call stack reconstruction

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

LBR only collect the user call stack. To reconstruct a call stack, both
kernel call stack and user call stack are required. The function
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() mix the kernel call stack and user
call stack. Now, with the help of TOS, perf tool can reconstruct a more
complete call stack by adding some user call stack from previous sample.
However, current implementation is hard to be extended to support it.

Abstract two new functions to resolve user call stack and kernel
call stack respectively.

No functional changes.
