Subject: [PATCH 2/7] perf intel-pt: Fix sync state

When syncing, it may be that branch packet generation is not enabled at
that point, in which case there will not immediately be a control-flow
packet, so some packets before a control flow packet turns up, get ignored.
However, the decoder is in sync as soon as a PSB is found, so the state
should be set accordingly.
