[ Upstream commit 0198322379c25215b2778482bf1221743a76e2b5 ]
Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is useful for application level profiling.
For trace_imc, presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context should only be used for CPU PMU. See commit 26657848502b ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU").
So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread PMU, it is preferred to use sw_context in order to be able to do application level monitoring. Hence change the task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.
