perf/x86/intel: Add support/quirk for the MISPREDICT bit on Knights Landing CPUs

[ Upstream commit 16160c1946b702dcfa95ef63389a56deb2f1c7cb ]

Problem: perf did not show branch predicted/mispredicted bit in brstack.

Output of perf -F brstack for profile collected

Cause:

As mentioned in Software Development Manual vol 3, 17.4.8.1,
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0] indicates the format of the address that is
stored in the LBR stack. Knights Landing reports 1 (LBR_FORMAT_LIP) as
its format. Despite that, registers containing FROM address of the branch,
do have MISPREDICT bit but because of the format indicated in
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0], LBR did not read MISPREDICT bit.

Solution:

Teach LBR about above Knights Landing quirk and make it read MISPREDICT bit.
