[PATCH v1 03/11] perf/x86: Expose a function to disable auto-reload

[Luwei Kang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

KVM needs to disable PEBS auto-reload for guest owned event to avoid
unnecessory drain_pebs() in host.

Expose a function to disable auto-reload mechanism by unset the related
flag. The function has to be invoked before event enabling, otherwise
there is no effect.
