Seems to me, this would break backward compability.

The old kernel (before 5.11) doesn't provide 'contextid1' and
'contextid2', so we always check the entry 'contextid' rather than
'contextid1' and 'contextid2'.

With this change, if a kernel doesn't contain 'contextid1' and
'contextid2' formats, will perf tool never trace for contexid?

Thanks,
Leo
