Subject: [PATCH 04/29] perf sched timehist: Save callchain when entering idle

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

In order to investigate the idleness reason, it is necessary to keep the
callchains when entering idle.  This can be identified by the
sched:sched_switch event having the next_pid field as 0.
