[PATCH V9 10/10] arm64/perf: Implement branch records save on PMU IRQ

This modifies armv8pmu_branch_read() to concatenate live entries along with
task context stored entries and then process the resultant buffer to create
perf branch entry array for perf_sample_data. It follows the same principle
like task sched out.
