It needs callstacks for two reasons:
* for stack aggregation mode, the map key is the stack id and it can
also show the full stack traces when -v is used
* for other aggregation modes, the stack filter can be used to limit
lock contentions from known call paths
The -v option is meaningful (in terms of stack trace) only for stack
aggregation mode, so it should not set the save_callstack for other
mode like with -t or -l options.
I've noticed this with the following command line:
$ sudo ./perf lock con -ablv -E 3 -M 16 -- ./perf bench sched messaging
...

It should not have any failure on stacks since it doesn't use it.
No functional change intended.
