The perf sample data can be divided into parts. The event->header_size
and event->id_header_size keep the static part of the sample data which
is determined by the sample_type flags.
But other parts like CALLCHAIN and BRANCH_STACK are changing dynamically
so it needs to see the actual data. In preparation of handling repeated
calls for perf_prepare_sample(), it can save the dynamic size to the
perf sample data to avoid the duplicate work.
