[PATCH v1] perf callchain: fix kernel symbol resolution by remembering the cpumode

[David Hildenbrand]

Commit 2e77784bb7d8 ("perf callchain: Move cpumode resolve code to
add_callchain_ip") promised "No change in behavior.".

As this commit breaks callchains on s390x (symbols not getting resolved,
observed when profiling the kernel), this statement is wrong. The cpumode
must be kept when iterating over all ips, otherwise the default
(PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER) will be used by error.
