perf/x86: Add PERF_X86_EVENT_NEEDS_BRANCH_STACK flag
Currently, branch_sample_type !=0 is used to check whether a branch
stack setup is required. But it doesn't check the sample type,
unnecessary branch stack setup may be done for a counting event. E.g.,
perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any
Also, the event only with the new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS branch
sample type may not require a branch stack setup either.
Add a new flag NEEDS_BRANCH_STACK to indicate whether the event requires
a branch stack setup. Replace the needs_branch_stack() by checking the
new flag.
The counting event check is implemented here. The later patch will take
the new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS into account.
