Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] perf tools: Omit DWARF judgement when recording dwarf callchain

There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the
'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to
collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done
in another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be
present.
