perf cs-etm: Output 0 instead of 0xdeadbeef when exception packets are flushed
Normally exception packets don't directly output a branch sample, but if they're the last record in a buffer then they will. Because they don't have addresses set we'll see the placeholder value CS_ETM_INVAL_ADDR (0xdeadbeef) in the output. Since commit 6035b6804bdf ("perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet") we've used 0 as an externally visible "not set" address value. For consistency reasons and to not make exceptions look like an error, change them to use 0 too. This is particularly visible when doing userspace only tracing because trace is disabled when jumping to the kernel, causing the flush and then forcing the last exception packet to be emitted as a branch. With kernel trace included, there is no flush so exception packets don't generate samples until the next range packet and they'll pick up the correct address.
