powerpc/perf: Don't use perf_hw_context for trace IMC PMU
Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is useful for application level profiling. For trace_imc, presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context should only be used for CPU PMU. See commit 26657848 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU"). So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread PMU, it is preferred to use sw_context in order to be able to do application level monitoring. Hence change the task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.
