Unconditionally return true when querying the validity of
MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES so as to defer the validity check to
intel_pmu_{get,set}_msr(), which can properly give the MSR a pass when
the access is initiated from host userspace. The MSR is emulated so
there is no underlying hardware dependency to worry about.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
