3.13.11-ckt21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anton Blanchard <anton at samba.org>

commit 9a5cbce421a283e6aea3c4007f141735bf9da8c3 upstream.

We cap 32bit userspace backtraces to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH
(currently 127), but we forgot to do the same for 64bit backtraces.
