perf: Drop the skip argument from perf_arch_fetch_regs_caller
Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the
state of the first caller.
It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.
