Subject: [ 051/100] ARM: 7663/1: perf: fix ARMv7 EVTYPE_MASK to include NSH bit

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit f2fe09b055e2549de41fb107b34c60bac4a1b0cf upstream.

Masked out PMXEVTYPER.NSH means that we can't enable profiling at PL2,
regardless of the settings in the HDCR.

This patch fixes the broken mask.
