powerpc/perf: Remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag for Power8
Commit 7a7868326d77 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not set. That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag. So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags. mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39 (IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is unlikely to trigger.
