perf/x86/intel: Cure bogus unwind from PEBS entries



Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.

While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.

Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.

Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.

The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.
