Since the commit dc6d2bc2d8 ("perf sample: Make user_regs and
intr_regs optional"), the building for Arm64 reports error:
arch/arm64/util/unwind-libdw.c: In function ‘libdw__arch_set_initial_registers’:
arch/arm64/util/unwind-libdw.c:11:32: error: initialization of ‘struct regs_dump *’ from incompatible pointer type ‘struct regs_dump **’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]

To fix the issue, use the helper perf_sample__user_regs() to retrieve
the user_regs.
