powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
to get correct call-graphs.
It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. If it was in C, gcc might
or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
of levels we have to skip.
With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like
this:
# Samples: 24878

# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .............. ................. ......

14.99% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ._raw_spin_lock
