[PATCH 1/5] powerpc/hv-gpci: Fix starting index value

Commit 9e9f60108423f ("powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate
requests with counters annotated") adds a framework for defining
gpci counters.
In this patch, they adds starting_index value as '0xffffffffffffffff'.
which is wrong as starting_index is of size 32 bits.

Because of this, incase we try to run hv-gpci event we get error.

In power9 machine:

command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
          -C 0 -I 1000
event syntax error: '..bie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/'
                                  \___ value too big for format, maximum is 4294967295

This patch fix this issue and changes starting_index value to '0xffffffff'

After this patch:

command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ -C 0 -I 1000
     1.000085786              1,024      hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
     2.000287818              1,024      hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
^C     2.439113909             17,408      hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
