At present ARMv8 event counters are limited to 32-bits, though by
using the CHAIN event it's possible to combine adjacent counters to
achieve 64-bits. The perf config1:0 bit can be set to use such a
configuration.

With the introduction of ARMv8.5-PMU support, all event counters can
now be used as 64-bit counters. Let's add support for 64-bit event
counters.

As KVM doesn't yet support 64-bit event counters, we also trap
and emulate the Debug Feature Registers to limit the PMU version a
guest sees to PMUv3 for ARMv8.4.

Tested by running the following perf command on both guest and host
and ensuring that the figures are very similar:

perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/inst_retired,long=1/ \
          -e armv8_pmuv3/inst_retired,long=0/ -e cycles

Changes since v3:

 - Rebased onto v5.5-rc7
 - Instead of overriding trap access handler, update read_id_reg

Changes since v2:

 - Rebased onto v5.5-rc4
 - Mask 'cap' value to 'width' in cpuid_feature_cap_signed_field_width

Changes since v1:

 - Rebased onto v5.5-rc1
