perf_counter: provide generic callchain bits

Provide the generic callchain support bits. If hw_event->callchain is
set the arch specific perf_callchain() function is called upon to
provide a perf_callchain_entry structure filled with the current
callchain.

If it does so, it is added to the overflow output event.
