    The fuzzer triggers the below trace.
    
    [ 7763.384369] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x689

    On a machine with the LBR format LBR_FORMAT_EIP_FLAGS2, when the TSX is
    disabled, a TSX quirk is required to access LBR from registers.
    The lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is introduced to determine whether
    the TSX quirk should be applied. However, the
    lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is invoked before the
    intel_pmu_lbr_init(), which parses the LBR format information. Without
    the correct LBR format information, the TSX quirk never be applied.
    
    Move the lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() into the intel_pmu_lbr_init().
    Checking x86_pmu.lbr_has_tsx in the lbr_from_signext_quirk_needed() is
    not required anymore.
    
    Both LBR_FORMAT_EIP_FLAGS2 and LBR_FORMAT_INFO have LBR_TSX flag, but
    only the LBR_FORMAT_EIP_FLAGS2 requirs the quirk. Update the comments
    accordingly.
