perf script: Add option to stop printing callchain

Allow user to specify list of symbols which cause the dump of callchains
to stop at that symbol.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  # perf record -ag usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.177 MB perf.data (33 samples) ]
  #
  # # Without it:
  #
  # perf script
