Frederic Weisbecker 0406ca6d8e perf_counter: Ignore the nmi call frames in the x86-64 backtraces 
About every callchains recorded with perf record are filled up
including the internal perfcounter nmi frame:

 perf_callchain
 perf_counter_overflow
 intel_pmu_handle_irq
 perf_counter_nmi_handler
 notifier_call_chain
 atomic_notifier_call_chain
 notify_die
 do_nmi
 nmi

We want ignore this frame as it's not interesting for
instrumentation. To solve this, we simply ignore every frames
from nmi context.

New example of "perf report -s sym -c" after this patch:

For now this patch only solves the problem in x86-64.
