[PATCH 1/2] perf cs-etm: Fix corrupt data after perf inject from

[Leo Yan]

From: Al Grant <al.grant@xxxxxxx>

Commit 42bbabed09ce ("perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack")
changed the format of branch stacks in perf samples. When samples use
this new format, a flag must be set in the corresponding event.
Synthesized branch stacks generated from CoreSight ETM trace were using
the new format, but not setting the event attribute, leading to
consumers seeing corrupt data. This patch fixes the issue by setting the
event attribute to indicate use of the new format.
