perf pmu: Treat the msr pmu as software
The msr PMU is a software one, meaning msr events may be grouped with events in a hardware context. As the msr PMU isn't marked as a software PMU by perf_pmu__is_software, groups with the msr PMU in are broken and the msr events placed in a different group. This may lead to multiplexing errors where a hardware event isn't counted while the msr event, such as tsc, is. Fix all of this by marking the msr PMU as software, which agrees with the driver.
