The perf_event_disable() eventually invokes the intel_pt_stop().
We already expose the intel_pt_stop()/cpu_emergency_stop_pt() to other
modules. I don't think we have to use the perf_event_disable(). Also,
the perf_event_disable() requires extra codes.

I went through the discussions. I agree with Sean's suggestion.
We should only put the logic in the KVM but all the MSR access details
into the PT driver. But I prefer a more generic and straightforward
function name, e.g., intel_pt_stop_save()/intel_pt_start_load(), in case
other modules may want to save/restore the PT information in their
context switch later.

Thanks,
Kan
