Subject: [PATCH v2 10/12] perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits
 when setting up TRCCONFIGR

Perf only looks at attr.config when determining what was programmed into
TRCCONFIGR. These bits could theoretically be in any of the config
fields. Use the evsel__get_config_val() helper so it's agnostic to
which config field they are in.

The kernel will also stop publishing the TRCCONFIGR register bits in a
header [1] so preempt that by defining them here.
