Starting with Arch Perfmon v5, the anythread filter on generic counters may be
deprecated. The current kernel was exporting the any filter without checking.
On Icelake, it means you could do cpu/event=0x3c,any/ even though the filter
does not exist. This patch corrects the problem by relying on the CPUID 0xa leaf
function to determine if anythread is supported or not as described in the
Intel SDM Vol3b 18.2.5.1 AnyThread Deprecation section.
