Subject: [RFC 4/6] perf annotate: generalize handling of ret instructions

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce helper to detect ret instructions and use the same in the tui.
A helper is needed since some architectures such as powerpc have more
than one return instruction.
