From: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 17cfccc91545682513541924245abb876d296063 ]

MMCRA[34:36] and MMCRA[38:44] expose the thresholding counter value.
Thresholding counter can be used to count latency cycles such as
load miss to reload. But threshold counter value is not relevant
when the sampled instruction type is unknown or reserved. Patch to
fix the thresholding counter value to zero when sampled instruction
type is unknown or reserved.

Fixes: 170a315f41c6('powerpc/perf: Support to export MMCRA[TEC*] field to userspace')
