[PATCH v2 5/5] KVM: selftests: Relax branches event count check for event_filter test

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

As the branches event overcount issue on Atom platforms, once there are
VM-Exits triggered (external interrupts) in the guest loop, the measured
branch event count could be larger than NUM_BRANCHES, this would lead to
the pmu_event_filter_test print warning to info the measured branches
event count is mismatched with expected number (NUM_BRANCHES).

To eliminate this warning, relax the branches event count check on the
Atom platform which have the branches event overcount issue.
