perf script: Don't disable use_callchain if input is pipe

Because perf data from pipe do not have a header with evsel attr, we
should not check that and disable symbol_conf.use_callchain. Otherwise,
perf script won't show callchains even if the data stream contains
callchain.

Before:
  $ perf record -g -o - uname |perf script
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  uname  1828 182630.186578:  250000 cpu-clock:  ..b9499 setup_arg_pages
  uname  1828 182630.186850:  250000 cpu-clock:  ..83b20 ___might_sleep
  uname  1828 182630.187153:  250000 cpu-clock:  ..4b6be file_map_prot_ch
  ...

After:
  $ perf record -g -o - uname |perf script
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  uname  1833 182675.927099:     250000 cpu-clock:
