MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new callchain interface



This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Frederic Weisbecker:

- f72c1a93
    perf: Factorize callchain context handling

    Store the kernel and user contexts from the generic layer instead
    of archs, this gathers some repetitive code.

- 56962b44
    perf: Generalize some arch callchain code

    - Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
      to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
      implementation that x86 overrides.

    - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
      handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
      That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...

    - Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
      left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

- 70791ce9
    perf: Generalize callchain_store()

    callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
    perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid
    any collision.

    This removes repetitive code.

- c1a65932
    perf: Drop unappropriate tests on arch callchains

    Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as
    this check doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to
    happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the
    generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.
