Athira Rajeev e559aaba71 powerpc/perf: Update the PMU group constraints for l2l3 events in power10
[ Upstream commit e924be7b0b ]

In Power9, L2/L3 bus events are always available as a
"bank" of 4 events. To obtain the counts for any of the
l2/l3 bus events in a given bank, the user will have to
program PMC4 with corresponding l2/l3 bus event for that
bank.

Commit 59029136d7 ("powerpc/perf: Add constraints for power9 l2/l3 bus events")
enforced this rule in Power9. But this is not valid for
Power10, since in Power10 Monitor Mode Control Register2
(MMCR2) has bits to configure l2/l3 event bits. Hence remove
this PMC4 constraint check from power10.

Since the l2/l3 bits in MMCR2 are not per-pmc, patch handles
group constrints checks for l2/l3 bits in MMCR2.
