[PATCH 4/4] perf lock contention: Skip stack trace from BPF

[Namhyung Kim]

Currently it collects stack traces to max size then skip entries.
Because we don't have control how to skip perf callchains.  But BPF can
do it with bpf_get_stackid() with a flag.

Say we have max-stack=4 and stack-skip=2, we get these stack traces.

Before:                    After:

      ---> +---+ <--             ---> +---+ <--
     /     |   |    \           /     |   |    \
     |     +---+  usable        |     +---+    |
    max    |   |    /          max    |   |    |
   stack   +---+ <--          stack   +---+  usable
     |     | X |                |     |   |    |
     |     +---+   skip         |     +---+    |
     \     | X |                \     |   |    /
      ---> +---+                 ---> +---+ <--    <=== collection
                                      | X |
                                      +---+   skip
                                      | X |
                                      +---+
