[PATCH v2] ARM: perf: add PMU hotplug notifier

[Will Deacon]

From: Lorenzo Pieralisi <Lorenzo.Pieralisi at arm.com>

When a CPU is taken out of reset, either cold booted or hotplugged in,
some of its PMU registers can contain UNKNOWN values.

This patch adds a hotplug notifier to ARM core perf code so that upon
CPU restart the PMU unit is reset and becomes ready to use again.

v2: Use CPU_STARTING instead of CPU_UP_PREPARE, since the latter does
    not run on the CPU coming up.
