perf/x86/amd/lbr: Discard erroneous branch entries
The Revision Guide for AMD Family 19h Model 10-1Fh processors declares Erratum 1452 which states that non-branch entries may erroneously be recorded in the Last Branch Record (LBR) stack with the valid and spec bits set. Such entries can be recognized by inspecting bit 61 of the corresponding LastBranchStackToIp register. This bit is currently reserved but if found to be set, the associated branch entry should be discarded.
