No PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN in sample_type, but 'perf script' needs to
display a callchain, have to specify manually.

Also, prefer displaying a callchain:

 gvfs-afc-volume    2267 [001] 3829232.955656: 1001115340 offcpu-time:

            77f052929c3c clone3+0x2c (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6)

to a raw binary BPF output:
