There may be a kernel panic on the Haswell server and the Broadwell
server, if the snbep_pci2phy_map_init() return error.
The uncore_extra_pci_dev[HSWEP_PCI_PCU_3] is used in the cpu_init() to
detect the existence of the SBOX, which is a MSR type of PMON unit.
The uncore_extra_pci_dev is allocated in the uncore_pci_init(). If the
snbep_pci2phy_map_init() returns error, perf doesn't initialize the
PCI type of the PMON units, so the uncore_extra_pci_dev will not be
allocated. But perf may continue initializing the MSR type of PMON
units. A null dereference kernel panic will be triggered.
The sockets in a Haswell server or a Broadwell server are identical.
Only need to detect the existence of the SBOX once.
Current perf probes all available PCU devices and stores them into the
uncore_extra_pci_dev. It's unnecessary.
Use the pci_get_device() to replace the uncore_extra_pci_dev. Only
detect the existence of the SBOX on the first available PCU device once.
Factor out hswep_has_limit_sbox(), since the Haswell server and the
Broadwell server uses the same way to detect the existence of the SBOX.
Add some macros to replace the magic number.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
