Hi, this solves the case for cgroup and I think it should be merged, but
what about the other fields that are being printed after the callchain
gets printed?

I looked and we would have to introduce a __sample__fprintf_sym that
didn't call sample__fprintf_callchain and use it in perf script's
process_event() then later call sample__fprintf_callchain after all the
fields that print on the same line.

Anyway, Namhyung, can I have your Acked-by for this patch to move things
forward at least for cgroups?
