perf: Make clock software events consistent with general exclusion rules
The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel. The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs. There are two side effects of this: - we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give us the desired result. - if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the user context. We want to actually ignore the event. get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows when an event must be ignored.
