perf/x86/intel: Fix unchecked MSR access error for Alder Lake N

For some Alder Lake N machine, the below unchecked MSR access error may be
triggered.

[ 0.088017] rcu: Hierarchical SRCU implementation.
[ 0.088017] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x38f (tried to write
0x0001000f0000003f) at rIP: 0xffffffffb5684de8 (native_write_msr+0x8/0x30)
[ 0.088017] Call Trace:
[ 0.088017] <TASK>
[ 0.088017] __intel_pmu_enable_all.constprop.46+0x4a/0xa0

The Alder Lake N only has e-cores. The X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU flag is
not set. The perf cannot retrieve the correct CPU type via
get_this_hybrid_cpu_type(). The model specific get_hybrid_cpu_type() is
hardcode to p-core. The wrong CPU type is given to the PMU of the
Alder Lake N.

Since Alder Lake N isn't in fact a hybrid CPU, remove ALDERLAKE_N from
the rest of {ALDER,RAPTOP}LAKE and create a non-hybrid PMU setup.

The differences between Gracemont and the previous Tremont are,
- Number of GP counters
- Load and store latency Events
- PEBS event_constraints
- Instruction Latency support
- Data source encoding
- Memory access latency encoding
