Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf tools: determine if LR is the return address

On arm64 and frame pointer mode (e.g: perf record --callgraph fp),
use dwarf unwind info to check if the link register is the return
address in order to inject it to the frame pointer stack.

Write the following application:

	int a = 10;

	void f2(void)
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
			a *= a;
	}

	void f1()
	{
		f2();
	}

	int main (void)
	{
		f1();
		return 0;
	}

with the following compilation flags:
	gcc -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-inline -O1

The compiler omits the frame pointer for f2 on arm. This is a problem
with any leaf call, for example an application with many different
calls to malloc() would always omit the calling frame, even if it
can be determined.

	./perf record --call-graph fp ./a.out
	./perf report

currently gives the following stack:

0xffffea52f361
_start
__libc_start_main
main
f2

After this change, perf report correctly shows f1() calling f2(),
even though it was missing from the frame pointer unwind:

	./perf report

0xffffea52f361
_start
__libc_start_main
main
f1
f2
