Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Advertise PMU LBRs if and only if perf supports
LBRs

Advertise LBR support to userspace via MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES if and only if perf fully supports LBRs. Perf may disable LBRs (by zeroing the number of LBRs) even on platforms the allegedly support LBRs, e.g. if probing any LBR MSRs during setup fails.
