perf/x86/intel/lbr: Factor out intel_pmu_store_lbr
The way to store the LBR information from a PEBS LBR record can be reused in Architecture LBR, because - The LBR information is stored like a stack. Entry 0 is always the youngest branch. - The layout of the LBR INFO MSR is similar. The LBR information may be retrieved from either the LBR registers (non-PEBS event) or a buffer (PEBS event). Extend rdlbr_*() to support both methods. Explicitly check the invalid entry (0s), which can avoid unnecessary MSR access if using a non-PEBS event. For a PEBS event, the check should slightly improve the performance as well. The invalid entries are cut. The intel_pmu_lbr_filter() doesn't need to check and filter them out. Cannot share the function with current model-specific LBR read, because the direction of the LBR growth is opposite.
