The debug store selftest code uses a stack-allocated buffer, which is
not necessarily correctly aligned.
For tests using a buffer to hold a single entry, the buffer that is
passed to ds_request must already be suitably aligned.
Pass a suitably aligned portion of the bigger buffer.

Check the buffer size more precisely to allow buffers for exactly
one element provided the base address is already properly aligned.
Add a debug store selftest.

Perform debug store selftests on each cpu.
Cover both the normal and the _noirq variant of the debug store interface.

The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.
Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with
interrupts disabled.
Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.
Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.
Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.
Defer the ds selftest.

Perform a selftest of branch trace store when a cpu is initialized.
WARN and disable branch trace store support if the selftest fails.
