Fixed-purpose counters stopped working in a simple 'perf stat ls' run:
<not counted> cache references
<not counted> cache misses
Due to:
ef7b3e0: perf_counter, x86: remove vendor check in fixed_mode_idx()
Which made x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed matter: if it's nonzero, the
fixed-purpose counters are utilized.
But on v2 perfmon this field is not set (despite there being
fixed-purpose PMCs). So add a quirk to set the number of fixed-purpose
counters to at least three.
[ Impact: add quirk for three fixed-purpose counters on certain Intel CPUs ]
