[PATCHv2 1/4] Revert "perf/x86: Always store regs->ip in perf_callchain_kernel()"

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

This reverts commit 83f44ae0f8afcc9da659799db8693f74847e66b3.

Currently we store initial stacktrace entry twice for non-HW ot_regs, which
means callers that fail perf_hw_regs(regs) condition in perf_callchain_kernel.

It's easy to reproduce this bpftrace:

  # bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:sched:sched_process_exec { print(kstack()); }'
  Attaching 1 probe...

        bprm_execve+1767
        bprm_execve+1767
        do_execveat_common.isra.0+425
        __x64_sys_execve+56
        do_syscall_64+133
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118

When perf_callchain_kernel calls unwind_start with first_frame, AFAICS
we do not skip regs->ip, but it's added as part of the unwind process.
Hence reverting the extra perf_callchain_store for non-hw regs leg.

I was not able to bisect this, so I'm not really sure why this was needed
in v5.2 and why it's not working anymore, but I could see double entries
as far as v5.10.

I did the test for both ORC and framepointer unwind with and without the
this fix and except for the initial entry the stacktraces are the same.
