perf/x86/intel: Add quirk for Goldmont Plus

A ucode patch is needed for Goldmont Plus while counter freezing feature
is enabled. Otherwise, there will be some issues, e.g. PMI flood with
some events.

Add a quirk to check microcode version. If the system starts with the
wrong ucode, leave the counter-freezing feature permanently disabled.
