Subject: [PATCH 06/19] perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample

Introducing sample_stack_user value into the perf_event_attr
struct to define the size of the user stack dump to be attached
to the sample. The dump itself is triggered once the
sample_stack_user is not zero.

Beeing able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the
stack pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI
based stack unwinding.
