Branch record attributes 'mispred' and 'predicted' are single bit
fields as defined in the perf ABI. Hence the data type of the field
'pred' used during BHRB processing should be changed from integer
to bool. This patch also changes the name of the variable from 'pred'
to 'mispred' making the logical inversion process more meaningful
and readable.
