David Ahern 300aa94165 perf report: Delay sample_type checks in pipe mode
The pipeline:
  perf record -a -g -o - sleep 5 |perf inject -v -b  | perf report  -g -i -

generates the warning:
  Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?

The problem is that the header data is not written to the pipe, so the
sample_type has not been available when perf_report__setup_sample_type
is called. For pipe mode, record dumps the sample type as part of the
synthesized events stream -- perf_event__synthesize_attrs(). Handle this
be detecting pipe mode and not doing early sanity checks on sample_type.
