Subject: Intel PT decoder switch case fallthrough cases reported by gcc 7

Hi,

	I've updated the container with Fedora Rawhide I use to build
tools/perf/ and samples/bcc/ and it now comes with gcc 7, where I get
things like:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/tests/code-reading.o

This gets solved with a new attribute, that you have to add where in the past
we added:

	/* Fall through */

To indicate that the fall through to the next case statement block is
intentional, so now I have a __fallthrough and I am addressing all the cases,
please check if the ones below are the ones intended for the Intel PT parts,
please Ack or advise, only one seemed like a bug, i.e. a break should be used,
but I'm not sure.
