perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursors
The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
callchain_cursor
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.
