[PATCH] perf/x86/intel/lbr: Zero the xstate buffer on allocation

[Thomas Gleixner]

XRSTORS requires a valid xstate buffer to work correctly. XSAVES does not
guarantee to write a fully valid buffer according to the SDM:

  "XSAVES does not write to any parts of the XSAVE header other than the
   XSTATE_BV and XCOMP_BV fields."

XRSTORS triggers a #GP:

  "If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero."

It's dubious at best how this can work at all when the buffer is not zeroed
before use.

Allocate the buffers with __GFP_ZERO to prevent XRSTORS failure.
