[RFC 6/9] drivers/perf: riscv: Implement SBI PMU snapshot function

SBI v2.0 SBI introduced PMU snapshot feature which adds the following
features.

1. Read counter values directly from the shared memory instead of
csr read.
2. Start multiple counters with initial values with one SBI call.

These functionalities optimizes the number of traps to the higher
privilege mode. If the kernel is in VS mode while the hypervisor
deploy trap & emulate method, this would minimize all the hpmcounter
CSR read traps. If the kernel is running in S-mode, the benfits
reduced to CSR latency vs DRAM/cache latency as there is no trap
involved while accessing the hpmcounter CSRs.

In both modes, it does saves the number of ecalls while starting
multiple counter together with an initial values. This is a likely
scenario if multiple counters overflow at the same time.
