arm64: perf: Enable PMU counter userspace access for perf event

Arm PMUs can support direct userspace access of counters which allows for
low overhead (i.e. no syscall) self-monitoring of tasks. The same feature
exists on x86 called 'rdpmc'. Unlike x86, userspace access will only be
enabled for thread bound events. This could be extended if needed, but
simplifies the implementation and reduces the chances for any
information leaks (which the x86 implementation suffers from).

PMU EL0 access will be enabled when an event with userspace access is
part of the thread's context. This includes when the event is not
scheduled on the PMU. There's some additional overhead clearing
dirty counters when access is enabled in order to prevent leaking
disabled counter data from other tasks.

Unlike x86, enabling of userspace access must be requested with a new
attr bit: config1:1. If the user requests userspace access with 64-bit
counters, then the event open will fail if the h/w doesn't support
64-bit counters. Chaining is not supported with userspace access. The
modes for config1 are as follows:

config1 = 0 : user access disabled and always 32-bit
config1 = 1 : user access disabled and always 64-bit (using chaining if needed)
config1 = 2 : user access enabled and always 32-bit
config1 = 3 : user access enabled and always 64-bit

Based on work by Raphael Gault <raphael.gault@arm.com>, but has been
completely re-written.
