[PATCH 11/12] perf arm_spe: Set HITM flag

Since FEAT_SPEv1p4, Arm SPE provides extra two events "Cache data
modified" and "Data snooped".

Set the snoop mode as:

- If both the "Cache data modified" event and the "Data snooped" event
  are set, which indicates a load operation that snooped from a outside
  cache and hit a modified copy, set the HITM flag to inspect false
  sharing.
- If the snooped event bit is not set, and the snooped event has been
  supported by the hardware, set as NONE mode (no snoop operation).
- If the snooped event bit is not set, and the event is not supported or
  absent the events info in the meta data, set as NA mode (not
  available).

Don't set any mode for only "Cache data modified" event, as it hits a
local modified copy.
