[PATCH] perf/core: Reset remaining bits in perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields()

[Anshuman Khandual]

perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() resets all struct perf_branch_entry bit
fields before capturing branch records. This resets remaining bit fields
except 'new_type', which is valid only when 'type' is PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI.

This applies on v6.1-rc6

'perf_branch_entry.new_type' can remain uninitialized as explained earlier.
Also there is no PERF_BR_NEW_UNKNOWN to spare, because 'perf_branch_entry.
new_type' enumeration starts at PERF_BR_NEW_FAULT_ALGN, to save a position
for the extended branch types instead.
