perf record --off-cpu: Disable perf_event's callchain collection



There is a check in evsel.c that does this:

if (evsel__is_offcpu_event(evsel))
	evsel->core.attr.sample_type &= OFFCPU_SAMPLE_TYPES;

This along with:

 #define OFFCPU_SAMPLE_TYPES  (PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER | PERF_SAMPLE_IP | \
			      PERF_SAMPLE_TID | PERF_SAMPLE_TIME | \
			      PERF_SAMPLE_ID | PERF_SAMPLE_CPU | \
			      PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD | PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN | \
			      PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP)

will tell perf_event to collect callchain.

We don't need the callchain from perf_event when collecting off-cpu
samples, because it's prev's callchain, not next's callchain.

   (perf_event)     (task_storage) (needed)
   prev             next
