[PATCH v2] ARM: perf: reset counters on all CPUs during initialisation

[Will Deacon]

ARMv7 dictates that the interrupt-enable and count-enable registers for
each PMU counter are UNKNOWN following core reset.

This patch adds a new (optional) function pointer to struct arm_pmu for
resetting the PMU state during init. The reset function is called on
each CPU via an arch_initcall in the generic ARM perf_event code and
allows the PMU backend to write sane values to any UNKNOWN registers.
