From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com>
We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.
Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can
be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.
