Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] KVM: selftests: Add timing_info bit support in vmx_pmu_caps_test

A new bit PERF_CAPABILITIES[17] called "PEBS_TIMING_INFO" bit is added
to indicated if PEBS supports to record timing information in a new
"Retried Latency" field.

Since KVM requires user can only set host consistent PEBS capabilities,
otherwise the PERF_CAPABILITIES setting would fail, so add
pebs_timing_info bit into "immutable_caps" to block host inconsistent
PEBS configuration and cause errors.
