[PATCH v3 7/8] perf cs-etm: Detect pid in VMID for kernel running at EL2

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose at arm.com>

The PID of the task could be traced as VMID when the kernel is running
at EL2.  Teach the decoder to look for VMID when the CONTEXTIDR (Arm32)
or CONTEXTIDR_EL1 (Arm64) is invalid but we have a valid VMID.
