Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Fix GRT PEBS load/store direction for latency
 events, to fix sample classification

On Gracemont, intel_grt_pebs_event_constraints[] applies LAT_CONSTRAINT
constraints to MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.{LOAD,STORE}_LATENCY, but does not set
explicit LOAD/STORE flags for those events.

The PEBS latency path (pebs_latency_data(), via __grt_latency_data())
uses the event flags to determine memory operation direction. Without an
explicit STORE flag, samples from MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STORE_LATENCY can be
misclassified as LOADs.

Set explicit LOAD/STORE flags in intel_grt_pebs_event_constraints[] for:

- MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY
- MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STORE_LATENCY

Also update __grt_latency_data() to explicitly interpret these flags when
assigning the sampled memory operation direction.

This fixes incorrect STORE sample classification.
