Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] perf/x86/amd: support capturing LBR from software events

[0] added ability to capture LBR (Last Branch Records) on Intel CPUs
from inside BPF program at pretty much any arbitrary point. This is
extremely useful capability that allows to figure out otherwise
hard-to-debug problems, because LBR is now available based on some
application-defined conditions, not just hardware-supported events.

retsnoop ([1]) is one such tool that takes a huge advantage of this
functionality and has proved to be an extremely useful tool in
practice.

Now, AMD Zen4 CPUs got support for similar LBR functionality, but
necessary wiring inside the kernel is not yet setup. This patch seeks to
rectify this and follows a similar approach to the original patch [0]
for Intel CPUs.

Given LBR can be set up to capture any indirect jumps, it's critical to
minimize indirect jumps on the way to requesting LBR from BPF program,
so we split amd_pmu_lbr_disable_all() into a wrapper with some generic
conditions vs always-inlined __amd_pmu_lbr_disable() called directly
from BPF subsystem (through perf_snapshot_branch_stack static call).

This was tested on AMD Bergamo CPU and worked well when utilized from
the aforementioned retsnoop tool.
