[PATCH V2 1/2] powerpc/perf: Infrastructure to support checking of attr.config*

[Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com>]

Introduce code to support the checking of attr.config* for
values which are reserved for a given platform.
Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) configuration registers
have fields that are reserved and specific value to bit field
as reserved. For ex., MMCRA[61:62] is Randome Sampling Mode (SM)
and value of 0b11 to this field is reserved.

Writing a non-zero values in these fields or writing invalid
value to bit fields will have unknown behaviours.

Patch adds a generic call-back function "check_attr_config"
in "struct power_pmu", to be called in event_init to
check for attr.config* values for a given platform.
"check_attr_config" is valid only for raw event type.
