x86, perf: P4 PMU -- check for permission granted on ANY event v2

In case if a caller (user) asked us to count events with
some weird mask we should check if this priviledge has been
granted since this could be a mix of bitmasks we not like
which but allow if caller insist.

By ANY event term the combination of USR/OS bits in ESCR
register is assumed.
