Subject: [PATCH V6 7/7] drivers: perf: arm_pmu: Enable branch stack sampling event

Now that all the required pieces are already in place, just enable the perf
branch stack sampling event on supported platforms, removing the gate which
blocks it unconditionally in armpmu_event_init(). Instead a quick probe can
be initiated first via arm_pmu_branch_stack_supported().
