tools/power turbostat: Enable non-privileged users to read sysfs counters
A group of counters called "sysfs" displays software C-state request counts and resulting perceived C-state residency. They are not built-in counters that turbostat knows about ahead of time, rather they are discovered in sysfs when turbostat starts. Thus, they are added dynamically, using the same interface as user-added MSR counters. When turbostat enters "no-msr" mode, such as when running as a non-privileged user, it clears all added counters. Updating that to clear only actual MSR added counters allows regular users to see the sysfs counters.
