Frederic Weisbecker 06d65bda75 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker
It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.

Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.

This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.
