perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup

Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.

As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.

Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.

This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
that caused the event (barring CPU errata).

The fixup can fail due to various reasons:

 1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
 2) part of the basic block got paged out
 3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)
