selftests/powerpc: Fix "no_handler" EBB selftest

The "no_handler_test" in ebb selftests attempts to read the PMU
registers twice via helper function "dump_ebb_state". First dump is
just before closing of event and the second invocation is done after
closing of the event. The original intention of second
dump_ebb_state was to dump the state of registers at the end of
the test when the counters are frozen. But this will be achieved
with the first call itself since sample period is set to low value
and PMU will be frozen by then. Hence patch removes the
dump which was done before closing of the event.

selftests/powerpc: Run EBB tests only on POWER8

EBB (Event Based Branches) are currently only available on POWER8, so we
should skip them on other CPUs.

I've found that at least one test loops forever on 970MP (cycles_with_freeze_test).

selftests/powerpc: Add tests of PMU EBBs

The Power8 Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) has a new feature called Event
Based Branches (EBB). This commit adds tests of the kernel API for using
EBBs.
