perf/x86/intel/lbr: Zero the xstate buffer on allocation
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.
