[PATCH V6 13/17] perf, x86: enable LBR callstack when recording callchain

[Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>]

Only enable LBR callstack when user requires fp callgraph. The feature
is not available when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK or PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER
is required.
Also, this feature only affects how to get user callchain. The kernel
callchain is always got by frame pointers.
