[ Upstream commit 3317c26a4b413b41364f2c4b83c778c6aba1576d ] 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.
