[PATCH V3 1/5] perf/x86: Add dynamic constraint

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

More and more features require a dynamic event constraint, e.g., branch
counter logging, auto counter reload, Arch PEBS, etc.

Add a generic flag, PMU_FL_DYN_CONSTRAINT, to indicate the case. It
avoids keeping adding the individual flag in intel_cpuc_prepare().

Add a variable dyn_constraint in the struct hw_perf_event to track the
dynamic constraint of the event. Apply it if it's updated.

Apply the generic dynamic constraint for branch counter logging.
Many features on and after V6 require dynamic constraint. So
unconditionally set the flag for V6+.
