Subject: [PATCH v9 02/10] perf/x86/lbr: Add interface to get basic information about LBR stack

The LBR stack msrs are model specific. The perf subsystem has already
obtained the LBR stack base addresses based on the cpu model.

Therefore, an interface is added to enable callers outside the perf
subsystem to obtain the LBR stack base addresses. This is useful for
hypervisors to emulate the LBR feature for guests with less code.
