[PATCH perf] perf: get_perf_callchain return NULL for crosstask

[Jordan Rome <linux@jordanrome.com>]

Return NULL instead of returning 1 incorrect frame, which
currently happens when trying to walk the user stack for
any task that isn't current. Returning NULL is a better
indicator that this behavior is not supported.

This issue was found using bpf_get_task_stack inside a BPF
iterator ("iter/task"), which iterates over all tasks. The
single address/frame in the buffer when getting user stacks
for tasks that aren't current could not be symbolized (testing
multiple symbolizers).
