ARMv7 counters other than the CPU cycle counter only work if the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit is set.

Since access to the SDER is only possible in secure state, it will
only be done if the device tree property "secure-reg-access" is set.

Without this:

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

          14606094 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz
                 0 instructions              #    0.00  insns per cycle

After applying:

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           5843809 cycles
           2566484 instructions              #    0.44  insns per cycle

       1.020144000 seconds time elapsed

Some platforms (eg i.MX53) may also need additional platform specific
setup.

Nothing outside of drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c should call armpmu_register
any more, so it no longer needs to be in include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h.
Additionally, by folding it in to arm_pmu_device_probe we can allow
drivers to override struct pmu fields without getting blatted by the
armpmu code.

This patch folds armpmu_register into arm_pmu_device_probe. The logging
to the console is moved to after the PMU is successfully registered with
the core perf code.

of_cpu_device_node_get increments the reference count on the CPU
device_node, so we must take care to of_node_put once we've finished
with it.

This patch fixes the perf IRQ probing code to avoid the leak.

Now that the arm_pmu framework has been factored out to drivers/perf we
can make use of it for arm64, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs
and unifying the two codebases before they diverge further.

The as yet unused PMU name for PMUv3 is changed to armv8_pmuv3, matching
the style previously applied to the 32-bit PMUs.

To enable sharing of the arm_pmu code with arm64, this patch factors it
out to drivers/perf/. A new drivers/perf directory is added for
performance monitor drivers to live under.

MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. Files added previously without a
corresponsing MAINTAINERS update (perf_regs.c, perf_callchain.c, and
perf_event.h) are also added.
