perf/x86/amd/lbr: Add LbrExtV2 software branch filter support
With AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2), it is necessary to process the branch records further as hardware filtering is not granular enough for identifying certain types of branches. E.g. to record system calls, one should record far branches. The filter captures both far calls and far returns but the irrelevant records are filtered out based on the branch type as seen by the branch classifier.
