Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf, x86: Only dump PEBS register when PEBS has been detected

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Technically PEBS_ENABLED is only guaranteed to exist when we
detected PEBS. So add a check for this to the PMU dump function.
I don't think it can happen on a real CPU, but could in a VM.
