Subject: [PATCH v6 12/44] perf/x86/intel: Support PERF_PMU_CAP_MEDIATED_VPMU

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Apply the PERF_PMU_CAP_MEDIATED_VPMU for Intel core PMU. It only indicates
that the perf side of core PMU is ready to support the mediated vPMU.
Besides the capability, the hypervisor, a.k.a. KVM, still needs to check
the PMU version and other PMU features/capabilities to decide whether to
enable support mediated vPMUs.
