perf trace: Fix setting of --call-graph/--max-stack for non-syscall events

The raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} were first supported in 'perf trace',
together with minor and major page faults, then we supported
--call-graph, then --max-stack, but when the other tracepoints got
supported, and bpf, etc, I forgot to make those global call-graph
settings apply to them.

Fix it by realizing that the global --max-stack and --call-graph
settings are done via:

        OPT_CALLBACK(0, "call-graph", &trace.opts,
                     "record_mode[,record_size]", record_callchain_help,
                     &record_parse_callchain_opt),

And then, when we go to parse the events in -e via:

        OPT_CALLBACK('e', "event", &trace, "event",
                     "event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events",
                     trace__parse_events_option),

And trace__parse_sevents_option() calls:

                struct option o = OPT_CALLBACK('e', "event", &trace->evlist, "event",
                                               "event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events",
                                               parse_events_option);
                err = parse_events_option(&o, lists[0], 0);

parse_events_option() will override the global --call-graph and
--max-stack if the "call-graph" and/or "max-stack" terms are in the
event definition, such as in the probe_libc:inet_pton event in one of the
examples below (-e probe_libc:inet_pton/max-stack=2).

Same thing for --max-stack, the global one:

  PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.097 ms

  #

And then setting up a global setting (dwarf, max-stack=4), that will
affect the raw_syscall:sys_enter for the 'sendto' syscall and that will
be overriden in the probe_libc:inet_pton call to just one entry.

  # perf trace --max-stack=4 --call-graph dwarf -e sendto -e probe_libc:inet_pton/max-stack=1/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
  PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes

  #

Install iputils-debuginfo to get those /usr/bin/ping addresses resolved,
those routines are not on its .dymsym nor .symtab :-)
