Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf/x86/intel: Expose existence of callback support to KVM

Add a "has_callstack" field to the x86_pmu_lbr structure used to pass
information to KVM, and set it accordingly in x86_perf_get_lbr().  KVM
will use has_callstack to avoid trying to create perf LBR events with
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL_STACK on CPUs that don't support callstacks.
