 Commit: 7a7868326d77 introduced PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to
 remove assumption of MMCRA[SLOT] with respect to
 PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag. Commit 7a7868326d77's message also
 specifies that Power8 does not support MMCRA[SLOT].
 But still PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag managed to get into
 Power8 code. Patch to remove the same from Power8 flags.

Please follow the present protocol of referring to a commit
ID like this (<hash_code>: ""). Also this PMU flag was added
originally through the base POWER8 PMU enablement commit
(e05b9b9e5c1: "powerpc/perf: Power8 PMU support") which can
be mentioned in the "Fixes:" part.
