For x86 PMUs that do not support context exclusion we do not
advertise the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUDE capability. This ensures
that perf will prevent us from handling events where any
exclusion flags are set. Let's remove the now unnecessary
check for exclusion flags.
This change means that amd/iommu and amd/uncore will now
also indicate that they do not support exclude_{hv|idle} and
intel/uncore that it does not support exclude_{guest|host}.
