Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is
useful for application level profiling. For trace_imc,
presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to
perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context is to be used for
cpu PMU. So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread
PMU, it is preferred to use sw_context inorder to be able
to do application level monitoring. Hence change the
task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.
