Heiko Carstens 504b73d00a s390/perf: implement perf_callchain_user()
Daan De Meyer and Neal Gompa reported that s390 does not support perf user
stack unwinding.

This was never implemented since this requires user space to be compiled
with the -mbackchain compile option, which until now no distribution
did. However this is going to change with Fedora. Therefore provide a
perf_callchain_user() implementation.

Note that due to the way s390 sets up stack frames the provided call chains
can contain invalid values. This is especially true for the first stack
frame, where it is not possible to tell if the return address has been
written to the stack already or not.
