perf tools: Disable user-space callchain/stack dumps for function trace events

Browse source 
User space callchains and user space stack dump were disabled
for function trace event. Mailing list discussions:

  http://marc.info/?t=139302086500001&r=1&w=2
  http://marc.info/?t=139301437300003&r=1&w=2

Catching up with perf and disabling user space callchains and
DWARF unwind (uses user stack dump) for function trace event.

Adding following warnings when callchains are used
for function trace event:

  # perf record -g -e ftrace:function ...
  Disabling user space callchains for function trace event.
  ...

  # ./perf record --call-graph=dwarf -e ftrace:function ...
  Cannot use DWARF unwind for function trace event, falling back to framepointers.
  Disabling user space callchains for function trace event.
  ...
