[PATCH 2/3] arm64/pmu: Reject groups spanning multiple HW PMUs

Don't allow grouping hardware events from different PMUs
(eg. CCI + CPU).

Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2,
with CCI PMU turned on. The validate_event(), after certain checks,
assumes that the given hardware pmu event belongs to armpmu,
which may not be true always, with other hardware PMUs
around (CCI, CCN).

Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected, code 0x86000006 -- IABT (current EL)

Code: bad PC value

Also cleans up the code to use the arm_pmu only when we know
that we are dealing with an arm pmu event.
