Subject: [RESEND PATCH v4 01/10] perf/x86/intel: Fix the comment about guest LBR support on KVM

Starting from v5.12, KVM reports guest LBR and extra_regs support
when the host has relevant support. Just delete this part of the
comment and fix a typo incidentally.

I personally recommend this patch to hit the mainline through the KVM tree.
