arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.
Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads.
Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No
other functional change is intended in here.
Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the
conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a
pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor,
introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and
call at thread creation time.
Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing
those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information
compact.
The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more
into the struct regs_dump.

Adding dwarf unwind test, that setups live machine data over the perf
test thread and does the remote unwind.
At this moment this test fails due to bug in the max_stack processing in
unwind__get_entries function. This is fixed in following patch.
Need to use -fno-optimize-sibling-calls for test compilation, otherwise
'krava_*' function calls are optimized into jumps and ommited from the
stack unwind.
So far it's enabled only for x86.

Introducing perf_regs_load function, which is going to be used for dwarf
unwind test in following patches.
It takes single argument as a pointer to the regs dump buffer and
populates it with current registers values.
