Subject: perf/x86: Avoid exposing wrong/stale data in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32()

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit f2200ac311302fcdca6556fd0c5127eab6c65a3e upstream.

When the perf_branch_entry::{in_tx,abort,cycles} fields were added, intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() wasn't updated to initialize them.
