[PATCH 12/23] perf cs-etm: Optimize copying last branches

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@xxxxxxxxxx>

If an instruction range packet can generate multiple instruction
samples, these samples share the same last branches; it's not necessary
to copy the same last branches repeatedly for these samples within the
same packet.

This patch moves out the last branches copying from function
cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample(), and execute it prior to generating
instruction samples.
