Subject: [PATCH] x86,perf: Unmask LVTPC only if we have APIC supported

Ingo reported
|
| There's a build failure on -tip with the P4 driver, on UP 32-bit, if
| PERF_EVENTS is enabled but UP_APIC is disabled:
|
| arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `p4_pmu_handle_irq':
| perf_event.c:(.text+0xa756): undefined reference to `apic'
| perf_event.c:(.text+0xa76e): undefined reference to `apic'
|

So we have to unmask LVTPC only if we're configured to have one.
