Frederic Weisbecker e49a5bd381 perf: Use hot regs with software sched switch/migrate events 
Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
in perf_swevent_add().

Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.

Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
we need to save the current context.

This makes the task migration event working and fix the context
switch callchains and origin ip.

Example: perf record -a -e cs

Before:

                    __perf_event_overflow
                    perf_swevent_overflow
                    perf_swevent_add
                    perf_swevent_ctx_event

               |          |          check_disk_change
               |          |          cdrom_open

v2: Always build perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() now that software
events need that too. They don't need it from modules, unlike trace
events, so we keep the EXPORT_SYMBOL in trace_event_perf.c
