perf_counter: x86: Fix call-chain support to use NMI-safe methods

__copy_from_user_inatomic() isn't NMI safe in that it can trigger
the page fault handler which is another trap and its return path
invokes IRET which will also close the NMI context.

Therefore use a GUP based approach to copy the stack frames over.

We tried an alternative solution as well: we used a forward ported
version of Mathieu Desnoyers's "NMI safe INT3 and Page Fault" patch
that modifies the exception return path to use an open-coded IRET with
explicit stack unrolling and TF checking.

This didnt work as it interacted with faulting user-space instructions,
causing them not to restart properly, which corrupts user-space
registers.

Solving that would probably involve disassembling those instructions
and backtracing the RIP. But even without that, the code was deemed
rather complex to the already non-trivial x86 entry assembly code,
so instead we went for this GUP based method that does a
software-walk of the pagetables.
