perf-inject is currently not working for Arm SPE. When you try to run
perf-inject and perf-report with a perf.data file that contains SPE
traces, the tool reports a "Bad address" error:

  # ./perf record -e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,store_filter=1,branch_filter=1,load_filter=1/ -a -- sleep 1
  # ./perf inject -i perf.data -o perf.inject.data --itrace
  # ./perf report -i perf.inject.data --stdio
  
  0x42c00 [0x8]: failed to process type: 9 [Bad address]
  Error:
  failed to process sample

As far as I know, the issue was first spotted in [1], but perf-inject
was not yet injecting the samples. This patch does something similar to
what cs_etm does for injecting the samples [2], but for SPE.
