[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/perf: Use stack siar instead of mfspr

[Kajol Jain]

Minor optimization in the 'perf_instruction_pointer' function code by
making use of stack siar instead of mfspr.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/perf: Return regs->nip as instruction pointer value when SIAR is 0

[Kajol Jain]

Incase of random sampling, there can be scenarios where SIAR is not
latching sample address and results in 0 value. Since current code
directly returning the siar value, we could see multiple instruction
pointer values as 0 in perf report.
Patch resolves this issue by adding a ternary condition to return
regs->nip incase SIAR is 0.
