Subject: [PATCH V6 08/17] perf, x86: track number of events that use LBR callstack

When enabling/disabling an event, check if the event uses the LBR
callstack feature, adjust the LBR callstack usage count accordingly.
Later patch will use the usage count to decide if LBR stack should
be saved/restored.
