perf machine: Refine the function for LBR call stack reconstruction

LBR only collect the user call stack. To reconstruct a call stack, both
kernel call stack and user call stack are required. The function
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() mix the kernel call stack and user call
stack.

Now, with the help of HW idx, perf tool can reconstruct a more complete
call stack by adding some user call stack from previous sample. However,
current implementation is hard to be extended to support it.

Current code path for resolve_lbr_callchain_sample()

  for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr; j++) {
       if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
             if (kernel callchain)
                  Fill callchain info
             else if (LBR callchain)
                  Fill callchain info
       } else {
             if (LBR callchain)
                  Fill callchain info
             else if (kernel callchain)
                  Fill callchain info
       }
       add_callchain_ip();
  }

With the patch,

  if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
       for (j = 0; j < NUM of kernel callchain) {
             Fill callchain info
             add_callchain_ip();
       }
       for (; j < mix_chain_nr) {
             Fill callchain info
             add_callchain_ip();
       }
  } else {
       for (; j < NUM of LBR callchain) {
             Fill callchain info
             add_callchain_ip();
       }
       for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr) {
             Fill callchain info
             add_callchain_ip();
       }
  }

No functional changes.
