Kan Liang 6466ec14aa perf regs x86: Add X86 specific arch__intr_reg_mask()
XMM registers can be collected on Icelake and later platforms.

Add specific arch__intr_reg_mask(), which creating an event to check if
the kernel and hardware can collect XMM registers.

Test on Skylake which doesn't support XMM registers collection. There is
nothing changed.

Committer notes:

Don't set attr.sample_period as a named struct init, as it is part of an
unnamed union in 'struct perf_event_attr', and doing so breaks the build
on older gcc versions, such as:

  gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)
  gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC)

  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function 'arch__intr_reg_mask':
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: error: unknown field 'sample_period' specified in initializer
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: missing braces around initializer
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: (near initialization for 'attr.<anonymous>')
