Summary

These checks were inconsistently applied across the various hwpmc
classes. The condition is already checked by the generic code in
hwpmc_mod.c, so remove them.

Test Plan

Tinderboxed.

Some existing cases returned EPERM for the != caps cases?

Some existing cases returned EPERM for the != caps cases?

Yes exactly.

Although, I just noticed the generic allocation code in hwpmc_mod.c checks the capabilities before any of these class-specific checks, so they are more or less useless. I will update this review to just remove them altogether.

The relevant line is here: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_mod.c#n3935

Switch to just removing the existing redundant capability checks.
