powerpc/perf: Fix the threshold compare group constraint for power10
Thresh compare bits for a event is used to program thresh compare field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 8-18 bits for power10). When scheduling events as a group, all events in that group should match value in threshold bits. Otherwise event open for the sibling events should fail. But in the current code, incase thresh compare bits are not valid, we are not failing in group_constraint function which can result in invalid group schduling. Fix the issue by returning -1 incase event is threshold and threshold compare value is not valid in group_constraint function. Patch also fixes the p10_thresh_cmp_val function to return -1, incase threshold bits are not valid and changes corresponding check in is_thresh_cmp_valid function to return false only when the thresh_cmp value is less then 0. Thresh control bits in the event code is used to program thresh_ctl field in Monitor Mode Control Register A (MMCRA: 48-55). In below example, the scheduling of group events PM_MRK_INST_CMPL (3534401e0) and PM_THRESH_MET (34340101ec) is expected to fail as both event request different thresh control bits.
