Subject: perf/x86/amd: Rework AMD PMU init code

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 1b45adcd9a503428e6de6b39bc6892d86c9c1d41 upstream.

Josh reported that his QEMU is a bad hardware emulator and trips a
WARN in the AMD PMU init code. He requested the WARN be turned into a
pr_err() or similar.

While there, rework the code a little.
