[PATCH 3/3] x86 perf: Protect LBR and BTS enabling

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.li...@intel.com>

If packet generation is enabled (IA32_RTIT_CTL.TraceEn = 1), any attempt to
enable LBRs, LERs, BTS, or
BTM (setting IA32_DEBUG_CTL.LBR =1 or IA32_DEBUG_CTL.TR = 1) will cause a
general-protection fault (#GP).

{rd,wr}msrl_safe can handle the exception which caused by enabling LBR/BTS
