powerpc/perf: Fix MMCR2 handling for EBB
commit 8903461c9bc56fcb041fb92d054e2529951770b6 upstream. In the recent commit b50a6c584bb4 "Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMU", I screwed up the handling of MMCR2 for tasks using EBB. We must make sure we set MMCR2 *before* ebb_switch_in(), otherwise we overwrite the value of MMCR2 that userspace may have written. That potentially breaks a task that uses EBB and manually uses MMCR2 for event freezing.
