Common events PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES and PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
can fall back to the legacy counters. So do not mark them as invalid
if OpenSBI reports that they are not mapped to sampling counters
in PMU DT node.

I'm assuming the riscv tree are handling perf patches to the riscv driver,
but please shout if not.
