perf intel-pt: Fix premature IPC

[ Upstream commit 20aa397 ]

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.
