[PATCH] powerpc/perf: prevent mixed EBB and non-EBB events

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

EBB events must be under exclusive groups, so there is no mix of EBB and
non-EBB events on the same PMU. This requirement worked fine as perf core
would not allow other pinned events to be scheduled together with exclusive
events.

This assumption was broken by commit 1908dc911792 ("perf: Tweak
perf_event_attr::exclusive semantics").

After that, the test cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test started succeeding after
read_events, but worse, the task would not have given access to PMC1, so
when it tried to write to it, it was killed with "illegal instruction".

Preventing mixed EBB and non-EBB events from being add to the same PMU will
just revert to the previous behavior and the test will succeed.

Fixes: 1908dc911792 (perf: Tweak perf_event_attr::exclusive semantics)
