perf/x86: Fix uninitialized value usage
When calling intel_alt_er() with .idx != EXTRA_REG_RSP_* we will not
initialize alt_idx and then use this uninitialized value to index an
array.
When that is not fatal, it can result in an infinite loop in its
caller __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints(), with IRQs disabled.
Alternative error modes are random memory corruption due to the
cpuc->shared_regs->regs[] array overrun, which manifest in either
get_constraints or put_constraints doing weird stuff.
Only took 6 hours of painful debugging to find this. Neither GCC nor
Smatch warnings flagged this bug.
