It looks like perf_branch_entry is intended to be the variably
sized entries array at the end of perf_branch_stack?  That could
probably do with being called out if it's the case.  It feels
like it would be clearer and safer to allocate these dynamically
when BRBE is used if that's possible, I'd expect that should also
deal with the stack frame size issues as well.
