Subject: [PATCH V4 05/16] perf, core: pmu specific data for perf task context

Introduce a new field to 'struct pmu' to specify the size of PMU
specific data. If the size is not zero, also allocate memory for
the PMU specific data when allocating perf task context. The PMU
specific data are initialized to zeros. Later patches will use
PMU specific data to save LBR stack.
