perf, x86: Fix callgraphs of 32-bit processes on 64-bit kernels

When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a
64-bit pointer).

Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the
TIF_IA32 flag is set.

Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
example).
