drivers: perf: arm_pmuv3: Read PMMIR_EL1 unconditionally
Currently the PMUv3 driver only reads PMMIR_EL1 if the PMU implements FEAT_PMUv3p4 and the STALL_SLOT event, but the check for STALL_SLOT event isn't necessary and can be removed. The check for STALL_SLOT event was introduced with the read of PMMIR_EL1 in commit f5be3a61 ("arm64: perf: Add support caps under sysfs") When this logic was written, the ARM ARM said: | If STALL_SLOT is not implemented, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether | the PMMIR System registers are implemented. ... and thus the driver had to check for STALL_SLOT event to verify that PMMIR_EL1 was implemented and accesses to PMMIR_EL1 would not be UNDEFINED. Subsequently, the architecture was retrospectively tightened to require that any FEAT_PMUv3p4 implementation implements PMMIR_EL1. Since the G.b release of the ARM ARM, the wording regarding STALL_SLOT event has been removed, and the description of PMMIR_EL1 says: | This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3p4 is implemented. Drop the unnecessary check for STALL_SLOT event when reading PMMIR_EL1.
