perf/x86/intel: Support PEBS output to PT
If PEBS declares ability to output its data to Intel PT stream, use the aux_output attribute bit to enable PEBS data output to PT. This requires a PT event to be present and scheduled in the same context. Unlike the DS area, the kernel does not extract PEBS records from the PT stream to generate corresponding records in the perf stream, because that would require real time in-kernel PT decoding, which is not feasible. The PMI, however, can still be used. The output setting is per-CPU, so all PEBS events must be either writing to PT or to the DS area, therefore, in case of conflict, the conflicting event will fail to schedule, allowing the rotation logic to alternate between the PEBS->PT and PEBS->DS events.
