perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix KVM warning due to doing rdmsr() before the CPUID test

If KVM does not support INTEL_PT, guest MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL reading will
produce host warning like "kvm [2469]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x570".

Guest can determine whether the CPU supports Intel_PT according to CPUID,
so test_cpu_cap function is added before rdmsr,and it is more in line with
the code style.
