perf/x86/intel: Use context switch callback to flush LBR stack

Previous commit introduces context switch callback, its function
overlaps with the flush branch stack callback. So we can use the
context switch callback to flush LBR stack.

This patch adds code that uses the flush branch callback to
flush the LBR stack when task is being scheduled in. The callback
is enabled only when there are events use the LBR hardware. This
patch also removes all old flush branch stack code.

 /*
- * When sampling the branck stack in system-wide, it may be necessary
- * to flush the stack on context switch. This happens when the branch
- * stack does not tag its entries with the pid of the current task.
- * Otherwise it becomes impossible to associate a branch entry with a
- * task. This ambiguity is more likely to appear when the branch stack
- * supports priv level filtering and the user sets it to monitor only
- * at the user level (which could be a useful measurement in system-wide
- * mode). In that case, the risk is high of having a branch stack with
- * branch from multiple tasks. Flushing may mean dropping the existing
- * entries or stashing them somewhere in the PMU specific code layer.
- *
- * This function provides the context switch callback to the lower code
- * layer. It is invoked ONLY when there is at least one system-wide context
- * with at least one active event using taken branch sampling.
