[PATCH v3 1/5] perf cs-etm: Swap packets for instruction samples

[Leo Yan]

If use option '--itrace=iNNN' with Arm CoreSight trace data, perf tool
fails inject instruction samples; the root cause is the packets are
only switched for branch samples and last branches but not for
instruction samples, so the new coming packets cannot be properly
handled for only synthesizing instruction samples.

To fix this issue, this patch switches packets for instruction samples.
