[PATCH] wrong PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES andPERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES for AMD

[Robert Schöne]

The current arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_amd.c file lists
L1-Instruction-Cache Misses and Accesses as PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
resp. PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES.

This fix uses L2C-Misses and Accesses instead. (Real LLC-events would be
better, but there are some restrictions for Northbridge Events on AMD).

The event codes are copied from the list of cache events from the same
file.
