perf/amd/ibs: Fix kernel address leak via REGS_USER and REGS_INTR
IBS hardware captures a sample and raises an NMI. Since the NMI can be delivered with a delay, a privilege change may occur between sample capture and NMI delivery. Because IBS only provides the sample RIP, the kernel records GPRs from the NMI pt_regs, which may reflect kernel mode if a privilege switch occurred in the interim. This can leak kernel addresses to unprivileged users through PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and/or PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR. Fix this by using interrupt regs while preparing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR. With the change, when IBS samples a user mode instruction but the NMI is delivered in kernel mode, PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER will source its register state from task_pt_regs(current) and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR will be omitted from the data sent to userspace. In addition to fixing the kernel address leak, this change also ensures GPR snapshot consistency, which resolves the DWARF unwinding issue with IBS.
