perf/x86/intel: Do not enable BTS for guests

By default when users program perf to sample branch instructions
(PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS) with a sample period of 1, perf
interprets this as a special case and enables BTS (Branch Trace Store)
as an optimization to avoid taking an interrupt on every branch.

Since BTS doesn't virtualize, this optimization doesn't make sense when
the request originates from a guest. Add an additional check that
prevents this optimization for virtualized events (exclude_host).
