perf/x86: Avoid touching LBR_TOS MSR for Arch LBR
The Architecture LBR does not have MSR_LBR_TOS (0x000001c9). In a guest that should support Architecture LBR, check_msr() will be a non-related check for the architecture MSR 0x0 (IA32_P5_MC_ADDR) that is also not supported by KVM. The failure will cause x86_pmu.lbr_nr = 0, thereby preventing the initialization of the guest Arch LBR. Fix it by avoiding this extraneous check in intel_pmu_init() for Arch LBR.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
