Note for reviewers:

There are no semantic changes in this patch. Only different
ioctl/structs/enums are renamed using basically s/perf/observation/I and
comments in code are similarly changed.

/proc/sys/dev/xe/perf_stream_paranoid file is now changed to
/proc/sys/dev/xe/xe_observation_paranoid.

Thanks.
