perf, x86: Fix BTS condition
Currently the x86 backend incorrectly assumes that any BRANCH_INSN
with sample_period==1 is a BTS request. This is not true when we do
frequency driven profiling such as 'perf record -e branches'.
Solves this error:
$ perf record -e branches ./array
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not supported).
