perf/x86/intel: Clean up LBR state tracking The lbr_context logic confused me; it appears to me to try and do the same thing the pmu::sched_task() callback does now, but limited to per-task events. So rip it out. Afaict this should also improve performance, because I think the current code can end up doing lbr_reset() twice, once from the pmu::add() and then again from pmu::sched_task(), and MSR writes (all 3*16 of them) are expensive!! While thinking through the cases that need the reset it occured to me the first install of an event in an active context needs to reset the LBR (who knows what crap is in there), but detecting this case is somewhat hard.
