[PATCH V2] powerpc/perf: Fix task context setting for trace imc

[Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is
useful for application level profiling. For trace_imc,
presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to
perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context is to be used for
cpu PMU. So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread
PMU, it is preferred to use sw_context inorder to be able
to do application level monitoring. Hence change the
task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
 Added comment in code on why perf_sw_context is used.
Notes:
 trace_imc_event_init currently uses context as
 perf_hw_context. But ideally there can only be a single
 PMU for perf_hw_context events which is core PMU.
 Reference:
 commit 26657848502b ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU")
 Reason for using "perf_sw_context" instead of invalid_context
 is that, task level monitoring is restricted with
 invalid_context.
