Imre Palik f92b760414 perf/x86/intel: Honour the CPUID for number of fixed counters in hypervisors
perf doesn't seem to honour the number of fixed counters specified by CPUID
leaf 0xa. It always assumes that Intel CPUs have at least 3 fixed counters.

So if some of the fixed counters are masked out by the hypervisor, it still
tries to check/set them.

This patch makes perf behave nicer when the kernel is running under a
hypervisor that doesn't expose all the counters.

This patch contains some ideas from Matt Wilson.
