[RFC PATCH 07/11] arm: perf: treat PMUs as CPU affine

In multi-cluster systems, the PMUs can be different across clusters, and
so our logical PMU may not be able to schedule events on all CPUs.

This patch adds a cpumask to encode which CPUs a PMU driver supports
controlling events for, and limits the driver to scheduling events on
those CPUs. Currently the cpumask is set to match all CPUs.
