perf/x86/intel: Disable userspace RDPMC usage for large PEBS

Userspace RDPMC cannot possibly work for large PEBS, which was introduced in:

  b8241d20699e ("perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)")

When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one, there is no way
to get exact auto-reload times and value for userspace RDPMC.  Disable
the userspace RDPMC usage when large PEBS is enabled.

The only exception is when the PEBS interrupt threshold is 1, in which
case user-space RDPMC works well even with auto-reload events.
