perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot
Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are executed in the same context than the code that triggered the event. It means we need a different api to capture the regs there, namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags for further purposes. v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per Masami's suggestion.
