Subject: [PATCH] drm/xe/oa: (De-)whitelist OA registers on OA stream
 open/release

Whitelist OA registers on stream open and de-whitelist on stream
close/release. Whitelisting is only done when 'stream->sample' is
true. 'stream->sample' is only true when (a) xe_observation_paranoid is set
to false by system admin, or (b) the process is perfmon_capable(). This
therefore enforces the OA register whitelisting security requirements.
