perf core: Add a 'nr' field to perf_event_callchain_context
We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array, excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob. This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.
