Subject: [PATCH 30/32] perf,perf/x86: add hook perf_event_arch_exec

perf_event context switches events to newly exec'ed tasks using
perf_event_exec. Add a hook for such path.

In x86, perf_event_arch_exec is used to synchronize the software
cache of the PQR_ASSOC msr, setting the right RMID for the new task.
