[ Upstream commit 5aa04b3eb6fca63d2e9827be656dcadc26d54e11 ]
When user tries to group imc (In-Memory Collections) event with
normal event, (sometime) kernel crashes with following log:
Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
[link register ] c00000000010ce88 power_check_constraints+0x128/0x980
...
c00000000010e238 power_pmu_event_init+0x268/0x6f0

c00000000000b004 system_call+0x38/0xe0
'event_base' field of 'struct hw_perf_event' is used as flags for
normal hw events and used as memory address for imc events. While
grouping these two types of events, collect_events() tries to
interpret imc 'event_base' as a flag, which causes a corruption
resulting in a crash.
Consider only those events which belongs to 'perf_hw_context' in
collect_events().
