perf: Fix race in callchains
Now that software events don't have interrupt disabled anymore in the event path, callchains can nest on any context. So seperating nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy. Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate them dynamically. v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion. Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array. v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs can safely access vmalloc'ed memory). Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases. v4: Protect the callchain buffers with rcu. v5: Do the cpu buffers allocations node affine.
