s390/cpum_sf: load program parameter at sampler enablement
The lpp instruction is used to place the PID of the current
task in the program-parameter (PP) register. The register
contents is then included in the sampling data entries.
The lpp instruction loads the PP register only when at least
one sampling function is enabled. Otherwise it is executed
as a no-op.
Linux calls lpp at context switch. If the context switch
happens before the sampler is enabled, the PP register is
empty. That means, the PID of the task that is sampled is
not stored in sampling data until the next context switch.
Hence, always call lpp when enabling the sampler.
