perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event codes internally
Although the perf_counter API allows 63-bit raw event codes, internally in the powerpc back-end we had been using 32-bit event codes. This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction sampling modes later. This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc; we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it might, so this fixes it.
