powerpc/perf: Record counter overflow always if SAMPLE_IP is unset

While sampling for marked events, currently we record the sample only
if the SIAR valid bit of Sampled Instruction Event Register (SIER) is
set. SIAR_VALID bit is used for fetching the instruction address from
Sampled Instruction Address Register(SIAR). But there are some
usecases, where the user is interested only in the PMU stats at each
counter overflow and the exact IP of the overflow event is not
required. Dropping SIAR invalid samples will fail to record some of
the counter overflows in such cases.

Example of such usecase is dumping the PMU stats (event counts) after
some regular amount of instructions/events from the userspace (ex: via
ptrace). Here counter overflow is indicated to userspace via signal
handler, and captured by monitoring and enabling I/O signaling on the
event file descriptor. In these cases, we expect to get
sample/overflow indication after each specified sample_period.

Perf event attribute will not have PERF_SAMPLE_IP set in the
sample_type if exact IP of the overflow event is not requested. So
while profiling if SAMPLE_IP is not set, just record the counter
overflow irrespective of SIAR_VALID check.
