perf/x86/amd: Don't reject non-sampling events with configured LBR

Browse source

Now that it's possible to capture LBR on AMD CPU from BPF at arbitrary
point, there is no reason to artificially limit this feature to just
sampling events. So corresponding check is removed. AFAIU, there is no
correctness implications of doing this (and it was possible to bypass
this check by just setting perf_event's sample_period to 1 anyways, so
it doesn't guard all that much).
