perf_counter, x86: Fix/improve apic fallback

Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.

Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
method.

( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
  sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
  permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
  allows more systems to use perfcounters. )

Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

-v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...
