drivers/perf: pmuv3: don't expose SW_INCR event in sysfs
The SW_INCR event is somewhat unusual, and depends on the specific HW
counter that it is programmed into. When programmed into PMEVCNTR<n>,
SW_INCR will count any writes to PMSWINC_EL0 with bit n set, ignoring
writes to SW_INCR with bit n clear.
Event rotation means that there's no fixed relationship between
perf_events and HW counters, so this isn't all that useful.
Further, we program PMUSERENR.{SW,EN}=={0,0}, which causes EL0 writes to
PMSWINC_EL0 to be trapped and handled as UNDEFINED, resulting in a
SIGILL to userspace.
Given that, it's not a good idea to expose SW_INCR in sysfs. Hide it as
we did for CHAIN back in commit:
