Subject: perf/x86: Fix exclusion of BTS and LBR for Goldmont
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b0c1ef52959582144bbea9a2b37db7f4c9e399f7 upstream.
An earlier patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same
time on Goldmont. However it also allowed enabling BTS and LBR
at the same time, which is still not supported. Fix this by
bypassing the check only for PT.
