Kan Liang c53e14f1ea perf: Extend per event callchain limit to branch stack
The commit 97c79a38cd ("perf core: Per event callchain limit")
introduced a per-event term to allow finer tuning of the depth of
callchains to save space.

It should be applied to the branch stack as well. For example, autoFDO
collections require maximum LBR entries. In the meantime, other
system-wide LBR users may only be interested in the latest a few number
of LBRs. A per-event LBR depth would save the perf output buffer.

The patch simply drops the uninterested branches, but HW still collects
the maximum branches. There may be a model-specific optimization that
can reduce the HW depth for some cases to reduce the overhead further.
But it isn't included in the patch set. Because it's not useful for all
cases. For example, ARCH LBR can utilize the PEBS and XSAVE to collect
LBRs. The depth should have less impact on the collecting overhead.
The model-specific optimization may be implemented later separately.
