perf/x86/ibs: Check syscall attribute flags
commit bad9ac2d7f878a31cf1ae8c1ee3768077d222bcb upstream. Current implementation simply ignores attribute flags. Thus, there is no notification to userland of unsupported features. Check syscall's attribute flags to let userland know if a feature is supported by the kernel. This is also needed to distinguish between future kernels what might support a feature.
