perf session: Fix Intel LBR callstack entries and nr print message

Browse Source 
When generating callstack information from branch_stack(Intel LBR), the
actual number of callstack entry should be bigger than the number of
branch_stack, for example:

	branch_stack records:
		B() -> C()
		A() -> B()
	converted callstack records should be:
		C()
		B()
		A()
though, the number of callstack equals
to the number of branch stack plus 1.

This patch fixes above issue in branch_stack__printf(). For example,

	# echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd
	# perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

Before applying this patch, `perf script -D` output:
