From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

Save samples with deferred callchains in a separate list and deliver
them after merging the user callchains.  If users don't want to merge
they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the
behavior.

With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.

  $ perf script
  perf     801 [000]    18.031793:          1 cycles:P:
          ffffffff91a14c36 __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0+0x56 ([kernel.kallsyms])

          ffffffff91d47c43 perf_ioctl+0x33 ([kernel.kallsyms])

          ffffffff92800130 entry_SYSCALL_64+0xb0 ([kernel.kallsyms])
              7fb5fc22034b __GI___ioctl+0x3b (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6)
  ...

The old output can be get using --no-merge-callchain option.
Also perf report can get the user callchain entry at the end.

  $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit=0 --stdio -q -S __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0
  # symbol: __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0
       0.00%  perf     [kernel.kallsyms]
