[PATCH v2 1/2] perf sched timehist: Fix -g/--call-graph option failure

[Yang Jihong]

When perf-sched enables the call-graph recording, sample_type of dummy
event does not have PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, timehist_check_attr() checks
that the evsel does not have a callchain, and set show_callchain to 0.

Currently perf sched timehist only saves callchain when processing
sched:sched_switch event, timehist_check_attr() only needs to determine
whether the event has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.

Before:
  # perf sched record -g true
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data (7536 samples) ]
  # perf sched timehist
  Samples do not have callchains.
