Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: fix Haswell precise store data source encoding


This patches fixes a bug in  precise_store_data_hsw() whereby
it would set the data source memory level to the wrong value.

As per the the SDM Vol 3b Table 18-41 (Layout of Data Linear
Address Information in PEBS Record), when status bit 0 is set
this is a L1 hit, otherwise this is a L1 miss. 

This patch encodes the memory level according to the specification.
