perf/core, pt, bts: Get rid of itrace_started
I just noticed that hw.itrace_started and hw.config are aliased to the same location. Now, the PT driver happens to use both, which works out fine by sheer luck: - STORE(hw.itrace_start) is ordered before STORE(hw.config), in the program order, although there are no compiler barriers to ensure that, - to the perf_log_itrace_start() hw.itrace_start looks set at the same time as when it is intended to be set because both stores happen in the same path, - hw.config is never reset to zero in the PT driver. Now, the use of hw.config by the PT driver makes more sense (it being a HW PMU) than messing around with itrace_started, which is an awkward API to begin with. This patch replaces hw.itrace_started with an attach_state bit and an API call for the PMU drivers to use to communicate the condition.
