[PATCH 46/46] perf intel-pt: Fix "Unexpected indirect branch" error

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer). That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.
