[PATCH 3/5] perf, tools: Disable branch flags/cycles for --callgraph lbr

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
--call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
reads in the PMI on Skylake.

When the kernel doesn't support the new flags they are automatically
cleared in the fallback code.

v2: Switch to use branch_sample_type instead of sample_type.
Adjust description.
Fix the fallback logic.
