perf/x86: Correctly use FEATURE_PDCM
The current code simply assumes Intel Arch PerfMon v2+ to have the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR; the SDM specifies that we should check CPUID[1].ECX[15] (aka, FEATURE_PDCM) instead. This was found by KVM which implements v2+ but didn't provide the capabilities MSR. Change the code to DTRT; KVM will also implement the MSR and return 0.
