[PATCH v4 1/6] perf tools: record ARM64 LR register automatically

[German Gomez]

From: Alexandre Truong <alexandre.truong at arm.com>

On ARM64, automatically record the link register if the frame pointer
mode is on. It will be used to do a dwarf unwind to find the caller
of the leaf frame if the frame pointer was omitted.
