[Patch v7 02/24] perf/x86/intel: Avoid PEBS event on fixed counters without extended PEBS

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

Before the introduction of extended PEBS, PEBS supported only
general-purpose (GP) counters. In a virtual machine (VM) environment,
the PEBS_BASELINE bit in PERF_CAPABILITIES may not be set, but the PEBS
format could be indicated as 4 or higher. In such cases, PEBS events
might be scheduled to fixed counters, and writing the corresponding bits
into the PEBS_ENABLE MSR could cause a #GP fault.

To fix this issue, enhance intel_pebs_constraints() to avoid scheduling
PEBS events on fixed counters if extended PEBS is not supported.

V2: Restrict PEBS events work on only GP counters if no PEBS-baseline
suggested instead of limiting cpuc->pebs_enabled to PEBS capable
counters in v1.
