When generating callstack information from branch_stack(Intel LBR), the
actual number of callstack entry should be bigger than the number of
branch_stack, for example:

branch_stack records:
B() -> C()
A() -> B()
converted callstack records should be:
C()
B()
A()
though, the number of callstack equals
to the number of branch stack plus 1.

This patch fixes above issue in branch_stack__printf(). For example,

# echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd
# perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd
