perf/x86/intel: Save/restore LBR stack during context switch
When the LBR call stack is enabled, it is necessary to save/restore the LBR stack on context switch. The solution is saving/restoring the LBR stack to/from task's perf event context. The LBR stack is saved/restored only when there are events that use the LBR call stack. If no event uses LBR call stack, the LBR stack is reset when task is scheduled in.
