selftests/powerpc/pmu: Add selftest to check branch stack enablement will not crash on any platforms While enabling branch stack for an event, BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer) filter is set using bhrb_filter_map() callback. This callback is not defined for cases like generic_compat_pmu or in case where there is no PMU registered. A fix was added in kernel to address a crash issue observed while enabling branch stack for environments which doesn't have this callback. commit b460b512 ("powerpc/perf: Fix crashes with generic_compat_pmu & BHRB"). Add perf sampling test to exercise this code path and make sure enabling branch stack shouldn't crash in any platform. Testcase uses software event cycles since software event is available and can be used even in cases without PMU.
