Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf tests: Introduce perf_regs_load function on ARM

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.

+/*
+ * 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:
+ * - the return values (i.e. caller values) of fp, sp and lr are retrieved
+ *   and stored from the fp, in order to skip the call to this function.
+ * The built-in unwinding test then unwinds the call stack from the dwarf
+ * information in unwind__get_entries.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ * - the 8 bytes stride in the registers offsets comes from the fact
+ * that the registers are stored in an u64 array (u64 *regs),
+ * - since perf is built with -fno-omit-frame-pointer, the fp value can
+ * be used to retrieve the caller values of fp, sp, lr.
