Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] perf/x86/amd/lbr: Use freeze based on availability

Currently, it is assumed that LBR Freeze is supported on all processors
which have CPUID leaf 0x80000022[EAX] bit 1 set. This is incorrect as
the feature availability is additionally dependent on CPUID leaf
0x80000022[EAX] bit 2 being set which may not be set for all Zen 4
processors. Define a new feature bit for LBR and PMC freeze and set the
freeze enable bit (FLBRI) in DebugCtl (MSR 0x1d9) conditionally.

It should still be possible to use LBR without freeze for profile-guided
optimization of user programs by using an user-only branch filter during
profiling. When the user-only filter is enabled, branches are no longer
recorded after the transition to CPL 0 upon PMI arrival. When branch
entries are read in the PMI handler, the branch stack does not change.

E.g.

  $ perf record -j any,u -e ex_ret_brn_tkn ./workload
