[PATCH v2 04/13] perf/x86/amd: add branch-brs helper event for Fam19h BRS

[Stephane Eranian]

This patch adds a pseudo event called branch-brs to help use the FAM Fam19h
Branch Sampling feature (BRS). BRS samples taken branches, so it is best used
when sampling on a retired taken branch event (0xc4) which is what BRS
captures.  Instead of trying to remember the event code or actual event name,
users can simply do:

$ perf record -b -e cpu/branch-brs/ -c 1000037 .....
