perf/x86/intel: Fix crashing bug in icl_update_topdown_event

The perf_fuzzer found a hard-lock crash on a RaptorLake machine.

  Oops: general protection fault, maybe for address 0xffff89aeceab400: 0000
  CPU: 23 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/23

    __perf_event_read+0xf9/0x210

The CPUs 16-23 are E-core CPUs that don't support perf metrics feature.
The icl_update_topdown_event() should not be invoked.

It's an regression of the commit f9bdf1f95339 ("perf/x86/intel: Avoid
disable PMU if !cpuc->enabled in sample read"). The is_topdown_event()
is mistakenly used to replace the is_topdown_count() to check if the
topdown functions for the perf metrics feature should be invoked.  The
is_topdown_event() only checks the event encoding. It's possible that
the same encoding 0x0400 is created on an e-core CPU (although there
is no valid event with such encoding on e-core).  The
is_topdown_count() checks the PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN flag. Only when
the topdown events require the perf metrics magic, the flag is set.

It should be a typo when merging the intel_pmu_auto_reload_read() and
intel_pmu_read_topdown_event() in the commit.
