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.
