perf: Add ability to attach user level registers dump to sample

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of
user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified
by sample_regs_user bitmask.

Only user level registers are dumped at the moment. Meaning the register
values of the user space context as it was before the user entered the
kernel for whatever reason (syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening
in userspace).

The layout of the sample_regs_user bitmap is described in
asm/perf_regs.h for archs that support register dump.

This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding on
top of samples.
