Drop this. While I think everyone agrees that KVM's CPUID uAPI sucks, the status
quo is to let userspace shoot itself in the foot. I.e. disallow enabling LBRs
with a "bad" config, but don't reject the ioctl().

As mentioned earlier, omit this and make it opt-in.

C'mon. More unnecessary dependencies on perf using the max depth.
