perf/x86/intel/pt: Split ToPA metadata and page layout
PT uses page sized ToPA tables, where the ToPA table resides at the bottom and its driver-specific metadata taking up a few words at the top of the page. The split is currently calculated manually and needs to be redone every time a field is added to or removed from the metadata structure. Also, the 32-bit version can be made smaller. By splitting the table and metadata into separate structures, we are making the compiler figure out the division of the page.
