perf/x86/amd/core: Always use the NMI latency mitigation
Commit df4d29732fda ("perf/x86/amd: Change/fix NMI latency mitigation
to use a timestamp") fixed handling of late-arriving NMIs but limited
the mitigation to processors having X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE. However,
it is unclear if processors without this feature are also affected.
When Mediated vPMU is enabled on affected hardware, it is also possible
to bypass the fix inside KVM guests if X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE is
removed from the guest CPUID (e.g. using "-cpu host,-perfctr-core" with
QEMU). Hence, use the mitigation at all times.
