[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix SDAR_MODE value for continous sampling in power9

Incase of continous sampling, code currently defaults
MMCRA[SDAR_MODE] to 0b01 for power9 DD1 which is
'Continous sampling mode update SDAR on TLB miss'.
And for the rest it copies the sdar_mode value from
the event code, which mostly turns out to be 0b00
('No Updates').

Instead, fix the sdar_mode to 0b10
('Continous sampling mode update SDAR on dcache miss')
as default for power9 incase of continous sampling.

Fixes: 78b4416aa2493 ('powerpc/perf: Handle sdar_mode for marked event in power9')
