Alexey Budankov 10ccbc1cc0 perf report: Prefer DWARF callstacks to LBR ones when captured both

Display DWARF based callchains when the perf.data file contains raw thread
stack data as LBR callstack data.

Commiter testing:

This changes the output from the branch stack based one, i.e. without
this patch, for the same file as in the previous csets:

  # (Tip: Profiling branch (mis)predictions with: perf record -b / perf report)
  #
  #

The branch stack view be explicitely selected using:

  # perf report -h branch-stack

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      -b, --branch-stack    use branch records for per branch histogram filling

  #

I.e. after this patch:

  # perf report -b --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
