perf, x86: Stop Intel PT before kdump starts

This patch stops Intel PT logging and saves its registers in memory
before kdump is started. This feature is needed to prevent Intel PT from
overwriting its log buffer after panic, and saved registers are needed to
find the last position where Intel PT wrote data.

After the crash dump is captured by kdump, users can retrieve the log buffer
from the vmcore and use it to investigate bad kernel behavior.
