Drop the return value from x86_perf_get_lbr() and have the stub zero out
the @lbr structure instead of returning -1 to indicate "no LBR support".
KVM doesn't actually check the return value, and instead subtly relies on
zeroing the number of LBRs in intel_pmu_init().
Formalize "nr=0 means unsupported" so that KVM doesn't need to add a
pointless check on the return value to fix KVM's benign bug.
Note, the stub is necessary even though KVM x86 selects PERF_EVENTS and
the caller exists only when CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y. Despite the name,
KVM_INTEL doesn't strictly require CPU_SUP_INTEL, it can be built with
any of INTEL || CENTAUR || ZHAOXIN CPUs.
