Bug description:
  Cap 64bit userspace backtraces to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH

  We cap 32bit userspace backtraces to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH
  (currently 127), but we forgot to do the same for 64bit backtraces.

  If userspace creates a stack frame that points to itself we will
  loop forever in the backtrace code with interrupts off.
