perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

  0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
  1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
  2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
  3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.

Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.

This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.
