An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above
the upper limit error due to the extra value on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count.
Furthermore, this extra count is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on
the output of the cycle test (as well as on pmc56_overflow_test):

Test uses PMC2 to count the event. But PMC1 is being initialized.
Patch to fix it.

EBB (Event Based Branches) are currently only available on POWER8, so we
should skip them on other CPUs.
I've found that at least one test loops forever on 970MP (cycles_with_freeze_test).

The Power8 Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) has a new feature called Event
Based Branches (EBB). This commit adds tests of the kernel API for using
EBBs.
