[PATCH v3 5/5] alpha: fill in pc for software event samples

[Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>]

Context switch and tracepoint events have no trap frame, so perf builds
one with perf_fetch_caller_regs(). Alpha does not define
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(), which leaves that pt_regs zeroed, and
these samples report pc as 0.

Record the caller's address as pc. The zero ps already marks the frame
as kernel mode, and pt_regs has nowhere to keep sp, so pc is all that
can be filled in.

perf_fetch_caller_regs() gets that address from CALLER_ADDR0, which
alpha defines as 0 when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is disabled. Finding the
level zero return address does not need a frame pointer, so make
alpha_ftrace_return_address0() available in both configurations. Only
ftrace_return_address(n) still depends on frame pointers.
