Subject: [PATCH] s390/perf_cpum_cf: Add missing array_index_nospec() to
 __hw_perf_event_init()

ev variable is userspace controlled via event->attr.config and used
as an array index after bounds checking, but without speculation
barriers.

Add the missing array_index_nospec() call to prevent speculative
execution.
