This looks good to me; bailing out when perf_callchain_store() can't
accept any more entries absolutely makes sense.

I gave this a spin with:

| #  perf record -g -c1 ls
| #  perf report

... and the recorded callchains look sane.

As mentioned on patch 1, I'd like to get this rebased atop Peter's
untangling of ARCH_STACKWALK from STACKTRACE.

Thanks,
Mark.
