From: Athira Rajeev <atraj...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
While setting the processor mode for any sample, `perf_get_misc_flags`
expects the privilege level to differentiate the userspace and kernel
address. On power10 DD1, there is an issue that causes [MSR_HV MSR_PR] bits
of Sampled Instruction Event Register (SIER) not to be set for marked
events. Hence add a check to use the address in Sampled Instruction Address
Register (SIAR) to identify the privilege level.
