Subject: [PATCH 10/12] perf/core, x86: removing fixed counter handling for AMD pmu

The AMD pmu does not support fixed counters. Thus, fixed counters may
not be considered for scheduling decissions. This patch implements an
AMD specific event scheduler without fixed counter calculation that
also improves code performance in the fast path.
