David Carrillo-Cisneros 71adae99ed perf/x86/intel: Add MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x quirk for ctx switch
Add quirk for context switch to save/restore the value of
MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when LBR is enabled and there is potential for
kernel addresses to be in the lbr_from register.

To test this patch, use a perf tool and kernel with the patch
next in this series. That patch removes the work around that masked
the hw bug:

  $ ./lbr_perf record --call-graph lbr -e cycles:k sleep 1

where lbr_perf is the patched perf tool, that allows to specify :k
on lbr mode. The above command will trigger a #GPF :

 WARNING: CPU: 28 PID: 14096 at arch/x86/mm/extable.c:65 ex_handler_wrmsr_unsafe+0x70/0x80
