perf/x86: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL
This patch enables the suport for the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL for Intel x86 processors. When the processor support LBR filtering this the selection is done in hardware. Otherwise, the filter is applied by software. Note that we chose to include zero length calls because they also represent calls.
