perf: Enhance perf_reg_validate() with simd_enabled argument

The upcoming patch will support x86 APX eGPRs sampling by using the
reclaimed XMM register space to represent eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields.

To differentiate between XMM and eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields, an
additional argument, simd_enabled, is introduced to the
perf_reg_validate() helper. If simd_enabled is set to 1, it indicates
that eGPRs are represented in sample_regs_* fields for the x86 platform;
otherwise, XMM registers are represented.
