Alexander Shishkin 1c5ac21a0e perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON
Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more
specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to
set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of
things will crash the kernel. Namely:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic

on such a machine will kill it.

To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after
VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.
