Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf/x86/intel/pt: Factor out starting the trace

PT trace is now enabled at the bottom of the event configuration
function that takes care of all configuration bits related to a given
event, including the address filter update. This is only needed where
the event configuration changes, that is, in ->add()/->start().

In the interrupt path we can use a lighter version that keeps the
configuration intact, since it hasn't changed, and only flips the
enable bit.
