perf/x86: Fix LBR related crashes on Intel Atom
This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom. The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer dereferences in a couple of places.
