[PATCH V4 11/17] perf tools: Save previous cursor nodes for LBR stitching approach

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The cursor nodes which generates from sample are eventually added into
callchain. To avoid generating cursor nodes from previous samples again,
the previous cursor nodes are also saved for LBR stitching approach.

Some option, e.g. hide-unresolved, may hide some LBRs.
Add a variable 'valid' in struct callchain_cursor_node to indicate this
case. The LBR stitching approach will only append the valid cursor nodes
from previous samples later.
