Jiri Olsa 382619c07f perf tools: Speed up report for perf compiled with linwunwind
When compiled with libunwind, perf does some preparatory work when
processing side-band events. This is not needed when report actually
don't unwind dwarf callchains, so it's disabled with
dwarf_callchain_users bool.

However we could move that check to higher level and shield more
unwanted code for normal report processing, giving us following speed up
on kernel build profile:

Before:

  $ perf record make -j40
  ...
  $ ll ../../perf.data
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 461783932 Apr 26 09:11 perf.data
  $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out

   Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':

    78,669,920,155      cycles:u
    99,076,431,951      instructions:u            #    1.26  insn per cycle

      55.382823668 seconds time elapsed

      27.512341000 seconds user
      27.712871000 seconds sys

After:

  $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out

   Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':

    59,626,798,904      cycles:u
    88,583,575,849      instructions:u            #    1.49  insn per cycle

      21.296935559 seconds time elapsed

      20.010191000 seconds user
       1.202935000 seconds sys

The speed is higher with profile having many side-band events,
because these trigger libunwind preparatory code.

This does not apply for perf compiled with libdw for dwarf unwind,
only for build with libunwind.
