[ Upstream commit 27746aaf1b20172f0859546c4a3e82eca459f680 ]
Gracefully skip the test_perf_branches_hw subtest on platforms that do not support LBR or require specialized perf event attributes to enable branch sampling.
For example, AMD's Milan (Zen 3) supports BRS rather than traditional LBR. This requires specific configurations (attr.type = PERF_TYPE_RAW, attr.config = RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS) that differ from the generic setup used within this test. Notably, it also probably doesn't hold much value to special case perf event configurations for selected micro architectures.
