Subject: [PATCH 5.15 132/136] perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix precise store latency handling

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@...gle.com>

commit d4bdb0bebc5ba3299d74f123c782d99cd4e25c49 upstream.

With the existing code in store_latency_data(), the memory operation (mem_op)
returned to the user is always OP_LOAD where in fact, it should be OP_STORE.
This comes from the fact that the function is simply grabbing the information
from a data source map which covers only load accesses. Intel 12th gen CPU
offers precise store sampling that captures both the data source and latency.
Therefore it can use the data source mapping table but must override the
memory operation to reflect stores instead of loads.
