perf tools: Fix usage of max_stack sysctl

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.

Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can
be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.
