[PATCH v2] bpf: Remove config check to enable bpf support for branch records

[Kajol Jain]

Branch data available to bpf programs can be very useful to get
stack traces out of userspace application.

Commit fff7b64355ea ("bpf: Add bpf_read_branch_records() helper")
added bpf support to capture branch records in x86. Enable this feature
for other architectures as well by removing check specific to x86.
Incase any platform didn't support branch stack, it will return with
-EINVAL.

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine with branch stacks
support.

Before this patch changes:
[command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
 #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:FAIL
 #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
 #88 perf_branches:FAIL
Summary: 0/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED

After this patch changes:
[command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
 #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:OK
 #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
 #88 perf_branches:OK
Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which doesn't
support branch stack

After this patch changes:
[command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
 #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:SKIP
 #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
 #88 perf_branches:OK
Summary: 1/1 PASSED, 1 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Tested this patch changes on power9 machine using selftest
'perf branches' which is added in commit 67306f84ca78 ("selftests/bpf:
Add bpf_read_branch_records()")

Changelog:
v1 -> v2
- Inorder to add bpf support to capture branch record in
  powerpc, rather then adding config for powerpc, entirely
  remove config check from bpf_read_branch_records function
  as suggested by Peter Zijlstra
