powerpc/oprofile: Fix error in oprofile power7_marked_instr_event() function

The calculation for the left shift of the mask OPROFILE_PM_PMCSEL_MSK has an
error.  The calculation is should be to shift left by (max_cntrs - cntr) times
the width of the pmsel field width.  However, the #define OPROFILE_MAX_PMC_NUM
was used instead of OPROFILE_PMSEL_FIELD_WIDTH.  This patch fixes the
calculation.

Apart from the fact that those two statements would be simpler and
better as:

		psel = mmcr1 >> ((OPROFILE_MAX_PMC_NUM - pmc)
  				 * OPROFILE_PMSEL_FIELD_WIDTH);
		psel &= OPROFILE_PM_PMCSEL_MSK & ~1ULL;

the change looks correct, so:
