Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU
explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form
branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc).
Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.
This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of
the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and
kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code.
