Subject: [PATCH 03/16] perf: Add ability to dump user regs

Add new attr->user_regs bitmap that lets a user choose a set
of user registers to dump to the sample. The layout of this
bitmap is described in asm/perf_regs.h for archs that
support register dump.

The perf syscall will fail if attr->user_regs is non zero.

The register value here are those of the user space context as
it was before the user entered the kernel for whatever reason
(syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening in userspace).

This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding
on top of samples.

TODO handle compat tasks
