[PATCH v2 7/7] KVM: VMX: Simplify capability check when handling PERF_CAPABILITIES write

Explicitly check for the absence of host support for LBRs or PEBS when
userspace attempts to enable said features by writing PERF_CAPABILITIES.
Comparing host support against the incoming value is unnecessary and
weird since the checks are buried inside an if-statement that verifies
userspace wants to enable the feature.

No functional change intended.
