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).
