[RFC PATCH V2 01/13] perf/x86: Use x86_perf_regs in the x86 nmi handler

[kan.liang@linux.intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

More and more regs will be supported in the overflow, e.g., more vector
registers, SSP, etc. The generic pt_regs struct cannot store all of
them. Use a X86 specific x86_perf_regs instead.

The struct pt_regs *regs is still passed to x86_pmu_handle_irq(). There
is no functional change for the existing code.

AMD IBS's NMI handler doesn't utilize the static call
x86_pmu_handle_irq(). The x86_perf_regs struct doesn't apply to the AMD
IBS. It can be added separately later when AMD IBS supports more regs.
