perf: attach/detach PMU specific data

The LBR call stack data has to be saved/restored during context switch
to fix the shorter LBRs call stacks issue in the  system-wide mode.
Allocate PMU specific data and attach them to the corresponding
task_struct during LBR call stack monitoring.

When a LBR call stack event is accounted, the perf_ctx_data for the
related tasks will be allocated/attached by attach_perf_ctx_data().
When a LBR call stack event is unaccounted, the perf_ctx_data for
related tasks will be detached/freed by detach_perf_ctx_data().

The LBR call stack event could be a per-task event or a system-wide
event.
- For a per-task event, perf only allocates the perf_ctx_data for the
  current task. If the allocation fails, perf will error out.
- For a system-wide event, perf has to allocate the perf_ctx_data for
  both the existing tasks and the upcoming tasks.
  The allocation for the existing tasks is done in perf_event_alloc().
  If any allocation fails, perf will error out.
  The allocation for the new tasks will be done in perf_event_fork().
  A global reader/writer semaphore, global_ctx_data_rwsem, is added to
  address the global race.
- The perf_ctx_data only be freed by the last LBR call stack event.
  The number of the per-task events is tracked by refcount of each task.
  Since the system-wide events impact all tasks, it's not practical to
  go through the whole task list to update the refcount for each
  system-wide event. The number of system-wide events is tracked by a
  global variable global_ctx_data_ref.
