Save samples with deferred callchains in a separate list and deliver
them after merging the user callchains. If users don't want to merge
they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the
behavior.
With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.

The old output can be get using --no-merge-callchain option.
Also perf report can get the user callchain entry at the end.
