perf evsel: Disable branch flags/cycles for --callgraph lbr
[The kernel patch needed for this is in tip now (b16a5b52eb9 perf/x86: Add option to disable ...) So this user tools patch to make use of it should be merged now] Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR reads in the PMI on Skylake. When the kernel doesn't support the new flags they are automatically cleared in the fallback code. v2: Switch to use branch_sample_type instead of sample_type. Adjust description. Fix the fallback logic.
