perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of things will crash the kernel. Namely: $ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic on such a machine will kill it. To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.
