ARM: perf: set cpu affinity to support multiple PMUs
In a system with multiple heterogeneous CPU PMUs and each PMUs can handle events on a subset of CPUs, probably belonging a the same cluster. This patch introduces a cpumask to track which CPUs each PMU supports. It also updates armpmu_event_init to reject cpu-specific events being initialised for unsupported CPUs. Since process-specific events can be initialised for all the CPU PMUs,armpmu_start/stop/add are modified to prevent from being added on unsupported CPUs.
