Subject: ARM: 8401/1: perf: Set affinity for PPI based PMUs

From: Stephen Boyd <[email protected]>

commit 8ded1e1a92daa96307e4b84b707fee5993bc6047 upstream.

For PPI based PMUs, we bail out early in of_pmu_irq_cfg() without setting the PMU's supported_cpus bitmap. This causes the smp_call_function_any() in armv7_probe_num_events() to fail. Set the bitmap to be all CPUs so that we properly probe PMUs that use PPIs.
