Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf pt: Mark PT return events as "return"

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

With perf script --itrace=cr we can synthesize calls and returns out of
a PT log. However both calls and returns are marked with the same event,
called branches. This makes it difficult to read and post process,
because calls and returns are somewhat diffferent.

Create a separate return event and mark the returns as return.
