From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
get_perf_callchain() doesn't support cross-task unwinding for user space
stacks, have it return NULL if both the crosstask and user arguments are
set.

Changes since v8 (v9 is the same): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250509165156.135430576@goodmis.org/ (local)
- Allow crosstask for user and kernel in get_perf_callchain()
Instead of exiting out early if crosstask and user is set, also check for
kernel, and still allow the kernel stack to do the crosstask.
Not sure if anyone does that, but it should not break what use to work.
