[PATCH v5 1/2] perf tests: mmap-basic: Only test userspace reading on supported platforms

mmap_user_read_instr() and mmap_user_read_instr_disabled() are the same
test for platforms that libperf doesn't support userspace counter
reading for. Only run the 'enabled' test for platforms that do support
it in order to simplify it in the next commit and not run the same test
twice. The test can then assert stronger guarantees and have fewer edge
cases to handle as we know it only runs in places where
'rdmpc_supported' will be true.
"unsupported" hasn't been a relevant skip reason since
commit 588d22b40480 ("perf test: Expand user space event reading (rdpmc)
tests") added the UNKNOWN fallback for unsupported platforms. Remove it
and leave only "permissions".
