commit 73fdeb66592ee80dffb16fb8a9b7378a00c1a826

    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.
