x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow handling
Draining the BTS buffer on a buffer overflow interrupt takes too
long resulting in a kernel lockup when tracing the kernel.
Restructure perf_counter sampling into sample creation and sample
output.
Prepare a single reference sample for BTS sampling and update the
from and to address fields when draining the BTS buffer. Drain the
entire BTS buffer between a single perf_output_begin() /
perf_output_end() pair.
