Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf tests: Introduce perf_regs_load function on ARM64
Introducing perf_regs_load function, which is going
to be used for dwarf unwind test in following patches.
It takes single argument as a pointer to the regs dump
buffer and populates it with current registers values, as
expected by the perf built-in unwinding test.

+ * Implementation of void perf_regs_load(u64 *regs);
+ *
+ * This functions fills in the 'regs' buffer from the actual registers values,
+ * in the way the perf built-in unwinding test expects them, e.g. an address
+ * within the caller:
+ * - the PC at the time at the call to this function. Since this function
+ * is called using a bl instruction, the PC value is taken from LR,
+ * - the current SP (not touched by this function),
+ * - the current value of LR is merely retrieved and stored because the
+ * value before the call to this function is unknown at this time; it will
+ * be unwound from the dwarf information in unwind__get_entries.
