perf/x86/intel: Increase max number of the fixed counters
The new PEBS format 5 implies that the number of the fixed counters can
be up to 16. The current INTEL_PMC_MAX_FIXED is still 4. If the current
kernel runs on a future platform which has more than 4 fixed counters,
a warning will be triggered. The number of the fixed counters will be
clipped to 4. Users have to upgrade the kernel to access the new fixed
counters.
Add a new default constraint for PerfMon v5 and up, which can support
up to 16 fixed counters. The pseudo-encoding is applied for the fixed
counters 4 and later. The user can have generic support for the new
fixed counters on the future platfroms without updating the kernel.
Increase the INTEL_PMC_MAX_FIXED to 16.
