perf/x86: Fix LBR related crashes on Intel Atom



commit 6fc2e83077b05a061afe9b24f2fdff7a0434eb67 upstream.

This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom.

The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format
LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format
but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer
dereferences in a couple of places.
