[PATCH V4 5/5] perf/x86: Fix: disable userspace RDPMC usage for large PEBS

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The userspace RDPMC usage never works for large PEBS since the large
PEBS is introduced by
commit b8241d20699e ("perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt
handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)")

When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one, there is no way to
get exact auto-reload times and value for userspace RDPMC.
Disable the userspace RDPMC usage when large PEBS is enabled.

For the PEBS interrupt threshold equals to one, even it's auto-reload
event, it doesn't need to disable the userspace RDPMC. It works well.

Fixes: b8241d20699e ("perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt
handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)")
