perf/x86/intel: Add MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x quirk for ctx switch

Add quirk for context switch to save/restore the value of
MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when LBR is enabled and there is potential for
kernel addresses to be in the lbr_from register.

To test this patch, use a perf tool and kernel with the patch
next in this series. That patch removes the work around that masked
the hw bug:

$ ./lbr_perf record --call-graph lbr -e cycles:k sleep 1

where lbr_perf is the patched perf tool, that allows to specify :k
on lbr mode. The above command will trigger a #GPF :
