Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] x86: Stop Intel PT and save its registers when panic occurs

When panic occurs, Intel PT logging is stopped to prevent it from
overwrite its log buffer. The registers of Intel PT are saved in the
memory on panic, they are needed for debugger to find the last position
where Intel PT wrote data.
