perf/x86: Disable uncore on virtualized CPUs
Initializing uncore PMU on virtualized CPU may hang the kernel. This is because kvm does not emulate the entire hardware. Thers are lots of uncore related MSRs, making kvm enumerate them all is a non-trival task. So just disable uncore on virtualized CPU.
