perf_counter: fix fixed-purpose counter support on v2 Intel-PERFMON

Browse source

Fixed-purpose counters stopped working in a simple 'perf stat ls' run:

   <not counted>  cache references
   <not counted>  cache misses

Due to:

  ef7b3e0: perf_counter, x86: remove vendor check in fixed_mode_idx()

Which made x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed matter: if it's nonzero, the
fixed-purpose counters are utilized.

But on v2 perfmon this field is not set (despite there being
fixed-purpose PMCs). So add a quirk to set the number of fixed-purpose
counters to at least three.

[ Impact: add quirk for three fixed-purpose counters on certain Intel CPUs ]
