perf/x86/intel/lbr: Zero the xstate buffer on allocation
XRSTORS requires a valid xstate buffer to work correctly. XSAVES does not
guarantee to write a fully valid buffer according to the SDM:
"XSAVES does not write to any parts of the XSAVE header other than the
XSTATE_BV and XCOMP_BV fields."
XRSTORS triggers a #GP:
"If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero."
It's dubious at best how this can work at all when the buffer is not zeroed
before use.
Allocate the buffers with __GFP_ZERO to prevent XRSTORS failure.
Fixes: ce711ea3cab9 ("perf/x86/intel/lbr: Support XSAVES/XRSTORS for LBR context switch")
