Subject: [patch added to 3.12-stable] perf/x86: Avoid exposing wrong/stale data in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit f2200ac311302fcdca6556fd0c5127eab6c65a3e upstream.

When the perf_branch_entry::{in_tx,abort,cycles} fields were added,
intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() wasn't updated to initialize them.

[js] there is no cycles in 3.12 yet
