[PATCH] arm64/boot: Don't set PMUv3p9 FGT2 bits without PMUv3

On a CPU with FGT2 and an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU (PMUVer 0b1111),
__init_el2_fgt2 sets the PMUv3p9 bits in HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2,
which are RES0 there. The macro only checks that PMUVer is at least
PMUv3p9, and 0b1111 passes.

Exclude 0b1111 before the compare, as __init_el2_debug does.

Fixes: 858c7bfcb35e1 ("arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9")
