x86/cpufeatures: Add PerfMonV2 feature bit



CPUID leaf 0x80000022 i.e. ExtPerfMonAndDbg advertises some
new performance monitoring features for AMD processors.

Bit 0 of EAX indicates support for Performance Monitoring
Version 2 (PerfMonV2) features. If found to be set during
PMU initialization, the EBX bits of the same CPUID function
can be used to determine the number of available PMCs for
different PMU types. Additionally, Core PMCs can be managed
using new global control and status registers.

For better utilization of feature words, PerfMonV2 is added
as a scattered feature bit.
