[PATCH 3/3][SRU][U/OEM-5.13] perf/x86/intel: Fix instructions:ppp support in Sapphire Rapids

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1933617

Perf errors out when sampling instructions:ppp.

$ perf record -e instructions:ppp -- true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)
for event (instructions:ppp).

The instruction PDIR is only available on the fixed counter 0. The event
constraint has been updated to fixed0_constraint in
icl_get_event_constraints(). The Sapphire Rapids codes unconditionally
error out for the event which is not available on the GP counter 0.

Make the instructions:ppp an exception.
