perf/x86/amd/lbr: Use fusion-aware branch classifier
AMD Last Branch Record Extension Version 2 (LbrExtV2) can report a branch
from address that points to an instruction preceding the actual branch by
several bytes due to branch fusion and further optimizations in Zen4
processors.
In such cases, software should move forward sequentially in the instruction
stream from the reported address and the address of the first branch
encountered should be used instead. Hence, use the fusion-aware branch
classifier to determine the correct branch type and get the offset for
adjusting the branch from address.
