Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix kernel address filter's offset validation

The kernel_ip() filter is used mostly by the DS/LBR code to look at the
branch addresses, but Intel PT also uses it to validate the address
filter offsets for kernel addresses, for which it is not sufficient:
supplying something in bits 64:48 that's not a sign extension of the lower
address bits (like 0xf00d000000000000) throws a #GP.

This patch adds address validation for the user supplied kernel filters.
