[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix lockdep interaction

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Since this drivers creates attributes on the heap, lockdep

Fix by setting ignore_lockdep flags for problematic attributes.

Not saying this is a right fix but lets say I am trying to force the issue. :)
