Subject: [PATCH 4.7 127/184] perf/x86/intel/cqm: Check cqm/mbm enabled state in event init

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>

commit 79d102cbfd2e9d94257fcc7c82807ef1cdf80322 upstream.

Yanqiu Zhang reported kernel panic when using mbm event
on system where CQM is detected but without mbm event
support, like with perf:

  # perf stat -e 'intel_cqm/event=3/' -a

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
  IP: [<ffffffff8100d64c>] update_sample+0xbc/0xe0
  ...
   <IRQ>
   [<ffffffff8100d688>] __intel_mbm_event_init+0x18/0x20
   [<ffffffff81113d6b>] flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x7b/0x160
   [<ffffffff81114853>] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x13/0x60
   [<ffffffff81052017>] smp_call_function_interrupt+0x27/0x40
   [<ffffffff816fb06c>] call_function_interrupt+0x8c/0xa0
  ...

The reason is that we currently allow to init mbm event
even if mbm support is not detected.  Adding checks for
both cqm and mbm events and support into cqm's event_init.
