perf/x86/amd: Add missing L2 misses event spec to AMD Family 17h's event map
Commit 3fe3331b ("perf/x86/amd: Add event map for AMD Family 17h"), claimed L2 misses were unsupported, due to them not being found in its referenced documentation, whose link has now moved [1]. That old documentation listed PMCx064 unit mask bit 3 as: "LsRdBlkC: LS Read Block C S L X Change to X Miss." and bit 0 as: "IcFillMiss: IC Fill Miss" We now have new public documentation [2] with improved descriptions, that clearly indicate what events those unit mask bits represent: Bit 3 now clearly states: "LsRdBlkC: Data Cache Req Miss in L2 (all types)" and bit 0 is: "IcFillMiss: Instruction Cache Req Miss in L2." So we can now add support for L2 misses in perf's genericised events as PMCx064 with both the above unit masks.
