Namhyung Kim 27ddc1d7a6 perf record: Add --call-graph fp,defer option for deferred callchains
Add a new callchain record mode option for deferred callchains.  For now
it only works with FP (frame-pointer) mode.

And add the missing feature detection logic to clear the flag on old
kernels.

  $ perf record --call-graph fp,defer -vv true
