Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf: Simplify the sample's user regs/stack retrieval

The perf_sample_regs_user function now returns result of the user
register retrieval, which simplifies surrounding code a bit.

The perf_output_sample_ustack now combines initial dump size
output for both (stack dump un/available) cases.
