perf/x86/amd/uncore: Add Hygon uncore PMU support

This commit introduces a separate uncore PMU driver for Hygon processors to
support Data Fabric (DF) and Data Fabric IO Die (DF_IOD) counters. It also
removes the Hygon vendor checks from the AMD uncore driver to keep the
vendor-specific features separated.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this inadvertently remove L3 uncore PMU support for Hygon systems?

Removing the Hygon vendor check in amd_uncore_init() prevents the AMD uncore
driver from initializing on Hygon CPUs, which previously provided L3 cache PMU
support.

Looking at the new driver in hygon_uncore.c, the uncores[] array only
implements the DF and DF_IOD components. It does not appear to provide a
replacement for the L3 cache PMU that was previously available.
