If user specifies options -F,+callindent or call chain related options, it means the user only cares about functions calls and returns; thus in this case it's pointless to generate samples for other types of branches. To output only pairs of calls and returns, this patch introduces branch filter and the filter is set according to synthetic options. Finally, perf can output only for calls and returns and without redundant branches.
