perf test ibs: Skip privilege test on Zen6 and newer platforms

IBS on pre-Zen6 platforms lacked a hardware privilege filter, so the
kernel enabled swfilt=1. Zen6 and newer platforms provides privilege
filtering via the RIP[63] bit, making swfilt redundant. Skip the perf
unit test that assumes IBS has no hardware-assisted privilege filter
on Zen6 and newer platforms.

swfilt is ignored by kernel on platforms that support RIP[63] bit filter
i.e. all amd-ibs-swfilt.sh tests will test hardware assisted privilege
filter.

Without the patch on Zen6:

  # sudo ./perf test -vv 77
   77: AMD IBS software filtering:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 30813
  check availability of IBS swfilt
  run perf record with modifier and swfilt
  [FAIL] IBS PMU should not accept exclude_kernel
  ---- end(-1) ----
   77: AMD IBS software filtering                            : FAILED!

With the patch:

  # ./perf test -vv 77
   77: AMD IBS software filtering:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 30903
  check availability of IBS swfilt
  run perf record with modifier and swfilt
