powerpc/perf: Fix MMCRA corruption by bhrb_filter
commit 3202e35e upstream. Consider a scenario where user creates two events: 1st event: attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK; attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY; fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0); This sets cpuhw->bhrb_filter to 0 and returns valid fd. 2nd event: attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK; attr.branch_sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL; fd = perf_event_open(attr, 0, 1, -1, 0); It overrides cpuhw->bhrb_filter to -1 and returns with error. Now if power_pmu_enable() gets called by any path other than power_pmu_add(), ppmu->config_bhrb(-1) will set MMCRA to -1.
