perf/x86/intel: Support CPUID 10.ECX to disable fixed counters
With Architectural Performance Monitoring Version 5, CPUID 10.ECX cpu leaf indicates the fixed counter enumeration. This extends the previous count to a bitmap which allows disabling even lower fixed counters. It could be used by a Hypervisor. The existing intel_ctrl variable is used to remember the bitmask of the counters. All code that reads all counters is fixed to check this extra bitmask.
