#1627029 — [PATCH 3.18 003/124] perf/x86: Avoid exposing wrong/stale data in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit f2200ac311302fcdca6556fd0c5127eab6c65a3e upstream.

When the perf_branch_entry::{in_tx,abort,cycles} fields were added,
intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() wasn't updated to initialize them.
