perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional
The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit functions are created and added throughout the code base.
