Subject: selftest/powerpc: Wrong PMC initialized in pmc56_overflow test

From: Madhavan Srinivasan <[email protected]>

commit df21d2fa733035e4d414379960f94b2516b41296 upstream.

Test uses PMC2 to count the event. But PMC1 is being initialized. Patch to fix it.

Fixes 3752e453f6ba ('selftests/powerpc: Add tests of PMU EBBs')
