[V3 09/10] power8, perf: Change BHRB branch filter configuration

[Anshuman Khandual]

Powerpc kernel now supports SW based branch filters for book3s systems with some
specifc requirements while dealing with HW supported branch filters in order to
achieve overall OR semantics prevailing in perf branch stack sampling framework.
This patch adapts the BHRB branch filter configuration to meet those protocols.
POWER8 PMU does support 3 branch filters (out of which two are getting used in
perf branch stack) which are mutually exclussive and cannot be ORed with each
other. This implies that PMU can only handle one HW based branch filter request
at any point of time. For all other combinations PMU will pass it on to the SW.

Also the combination of PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY_CALL and PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND
can now be handled in SW, hence we dont error them out anymore.
