Subject: [PATCH 17/19] perf trace: Make "--call-graph" affect just "raw_syscalls:sys_exit"

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

We don't need the callchains at the syscall enter tracepoint, just when
finishing it at syscall exit, so reduce the overhead by asking for
callchains just at syscall exit.
