perf/x86: Enable cycles:pp for Intel Atom

This patch updates the PEBS support for Intel Atom to provide
an alias for the cycles:pp event used by perf record/top by default
nowadays.

On Atom, only INST_RETIRED:ANY supports PEBS, so we use this event
instead with a large cmask to count cycles. Given that Core2 has
the same issue, we use the intel_pebs_aliases_core2() function for Atom
as well.
