Mark Rutland 6475b2d846 arm64: perf: move to shared arm_pmu framework
Now that the arm_pmu framework has been factored out to drivers/perf we
can make use of it for arm64, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs
and unifying the two codebases before they diverge further.

The as yet unused PMU name for PMUv3 is changed to armv8_pmuv3, matching
the style previously applied to the 32-bit PMUs.

Mark Rutland fa8ad7889d arm: perf: factor arm_pmu core out to drivers
To enable sharing of the arm_pmu code with arm64, this patch factors it
out to drivers/perf/. A new drivers/perf directory is added for
performance monitor drivers to live under.

MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. Files added previously without a
corresponsing MAINTAINERS update (perf_regs.c, perf_callchain.c, and
perf_event.h) are also added.
