perf lock contention: Revise needs_callstack() condition

It needs callstacks for two reasons:

 * for stack aggregation mode, the map key is the stack id and it can
   also show the full stack traces when -v is used

 * for other aggregation modes, the stack filter can be used to limit
   lock contentions from known call paths

The -v option is meaningful (in terms of stack trace) only for stack
aggregation mode, so it should not set the save_callstack for other
mode like with -t or -l options.

I've noticed this with the following command line:

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ablv -E 3 -M 16 -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  ...
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait            address   symbol

          33    905.22 us     73.67 us     27.43 us   ffff935757f41700    (spinlock)

  === output for debug ===

  bad: 12272, total: 12421
  bad rate: 98.80 %
  histogram of failure reasons
         task: 8285
        stack: 3987    <---------- here
         time: 0
         data: 0

It should not have any failure on stacks since it doesn't use it.
No functional change intended.
