perf callchain: Recording 'dwarf' callchains do not need DWARF unwinding support

There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the
'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to
collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done in
another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be
present.
