[PATCH v3 12/14] perf tests: Check CoreSight syscall entry and exit

Record the existing callchain workload, which issues gettid() through
SVC. The test requires syscall/sysret pairs to advance the PC by four
bytes.
For example, an expected syscall/sysret pair is:
syscall bb76e4 => ffff800080010c00 insn: 01 00 00 d4
...
sysret ffff800080012284 => bb76e8 insn: e0 03 9f d6
The entry instruction is SVC #0 at 0xbb76e4. On syscall completion,
ERET returns to 0xbb76e8, the instruction immediately after SVC.
