perf/core: Save the dynamic parts of sample data size

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.
