x86/events/intel: Do not deploy TSX force abort workaround when TSX is deprecated
Earlier workaround added by
400816f60c54 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement support for TSX Force Abort")
for perf counter interactions [1] are not required on some client
systems which received a microcode update that deprecates TSX.
Bypass the perf workaround when such microcode is enumerated.
[1] [ bp: Look for document ID 604224, "Performance Monitoring Impact
of Intel Transactional Synchronization Extension Memory". Since
there's no way for us to have stable links to documents... ]
[ bp: Massage comment. ]
