[ Upstream commit 20aa39708a5999b7921b27482a756766272286ac ]

The code assumed a change in cycle count means accurate IPC. That is not
correct, for example when sampling both branches and instructions, or at
a FUP packet (which is not CYC-eligible) address. Fix by using an explicit
flag to indicate when IPC can be sampled.

Fixes: 5b1dc0fd1da06 ("perf intel-pt: Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio")
