[PATCH v3 03/10] arm64: perf: Enable pmu counter direct access for perf event on armv8

Rob Herring

From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault@arm.com>

Keep track of event opened with direct access to the hardware counters
and modify permissions while they are open.

The strategy used here is the same which x86 uses: everytime an event
is mapped, the permissions are set if required. The atomic field added
in the mm_context helps keep track of the different event opened and
de-activate the permissions when all are unmapped.
We also need to update the permissions in the context switch code so
that tasks keep the right permissions.

v2:
- Move mapped/unmapped into arm64 code. Fixes arm32.
- Rebase on cap_user_time_short changes

Changes from Raphael's v4:
- Drop homogeneous check
- Disable access for chained counters
- Set pmc_width in user page
