[PATCH V4 7/7] arm64/perf: Enable branch stack sampling
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Oct 17 2022 - 01:58:59 EST
Now that all the required pieces are already in place, just enable the perf
branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform, by removing the gate which
blocks it in armpmu_event_init().
