Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] perf/core,x86: synchronize PMU task contexts on
 optimized context switches


Install Intel specific PMU task context synchronization adapter and
extend optimized context switch path with PMU specific task context
synchronization to fix LBR callstack virtualization on context switches.
