perf/core: Drop PERF_EVENT_TXN
We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation. Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ) we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the PERF_EVENT_TXN flag. When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures becomes unused, so drop that field as well. This is an extension of the Powerpc patch from Peter Zijlstra to s390, Sparc and x86 architectures.
