[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Update default sdar_mode value for power9

Commit 20dd4c624d251 ('powerpc/perf: Fix SDAR_MODE value for continous
sampling on Power9') set the default sdar_mode value in MMCRA[SDAR_MODE]
to be used as 0b01 (Update on TLB miss). And this value is set if sdar_mode
from event is zero, or we are in continous sampling mode in power9 dd1.

But it is preferred to have the sdar_mode value for power9 as
0b10 (Update on dcache miss) for better sampling updates instead
of 0b01 (Update on TLB miss).
