commit 1342e0b7a6c1a060c593037fbac9f4b717f1cb3b upstream.
Tracing a workload that uses transactions gave a seg fault as follows:
perf record -e intel_pt// workload
perf report
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag. Fix that.
