[PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix error with config term pt=0

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

Users should never use 'pt=0', but if they do it may give a meaningless
error:

	$ perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
	Error:
	The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for
	event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).

Fix that by forcing 'pt=1'.
