Since this is a trivial test, and we already access the 'secure_access' field
directly, I'd prefer we removed this helper and directly accessesed
arm_pmu::has_branch_stack, e.g. with the logic in armpmu_event_init() being:
if (has_branch_stack(event) && !armpmu->has_branch_stack)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
With that:
