perf/x86: Fix :pp without LBR

Browse Source 
This fixes a side effect of Kan's earlier patch to probe the LBRs at boot
time. Normally when the LBRs are disabled cycles:pp is disabled too.
So for example cycles:pp doesn't work.

However this is not needed with PEBSv2 and later (Haswell) because
it does not need LBRs to correct the IP-off-by-one.

So add an extra check for PEBSv2 that also allows :pp
