[PATCH] selftests/powerpc: Fix "no_handler" EBB selftest for ISA v3.1

[Athira Rajeev]

The "no_handler_test" in ebb selftests attempts to read the PMU
registers after closing of the event via helper function
"dump_ebb_state". With the MMCR0 control bit (PMCCEXT) in ISA v3.1,
read access to group B registers is restricted when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00.
Hence the call to dump_ebb_state after closing of event will generate
a SIGILL, which is expected.

Test has below in logs:

<<>>
!! child died by signal 4
failure: no_handler_test
<<>>

In other platforms (like power9), the older behaviour works where
group B PMU SPRs are readable. Patch fixes the selftest to handle
the sigill for ISA v3.1.
