perf/x86/intel: Implement support for TSX Force Abort
Skylake (and later) will receive a microcode update to address a TSX errata. This microcode will, on execution of a TSX instruction (speculative or not) use (clobber) PMC3. This update will also provide a new MSR to change this behaviour along with a CPUID bit to enumerate the presence of this new MSR. When the MSR gets set; the microcode will no longer use PMC3 but will Force Abort every TSX transaction (upon executing COMMIT). When TSX Force Abort (TFA) is allowed (default); the MSR gets set when PMC3 gets scheduled and cleared when, after scheduling, PMC3 is unused. When TFA is not allowed; clear PMC3 from all constraints such that it will not get used.
