Subject: powerpc/perf: Add restrictions to PMC5 in power9 DD1

From: Madhavan Srinivasan <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 8d911904f3ce412b20874a9c95f82009dcbb007c ]

PMC5 on POWER9 DD1 may not provide right counts in all sampling scenarios, hence use PM_INST_DISP event instead in PMC2 or PMC3 in preference.
