[PATCH v2] drivers/perf: riscv: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* while not supported

From: Pu Lehui <pulehui at huawei.com>

RISC-V perf driver does not yet support branch sampling. Although the
specification is in the works [0], it is best to disable such events
until support is available, otherwise we will get unexpected results.
Due to this reason, two riscv bpf testcases get_branch_snapshot and
perf_branches/perf_branches_hw fail.
