Subject: [PATCH 4.16 101/279] perf/x86/intel: Dont enable freeze-on-smi for PerfMon V1

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

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

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 4e949e9b9d1e3edcdab3b54656c5851bd9e49c67 ]

The SMM freeze feature was introduced since PerfMon V2. But the current
code unconditionally enables the feature for all platforms. It can
generate #GP exception, if the related FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit is set for
the machine with PerfMon V1.

To disable the feature for PerfMon V1, perf needs to
- Remove the freeze_on_smi sysfs entry by moving intel_pmu_attrs to
  intel_pmu, which is only applied to PerfMon V2 and later.
- Check the PerfMon version before flipping the SMM bit when starting CPU
