[PATCH 07/11] arm: perf: document PMU affinity binding

To describe the various ways CPU PMU interrupts might be wired up, we
can refer to the topology information in the device tree.
This patch adds a new property to the PMU binding, interrupts-affinity,
which describes the relationship between CPUs and interrupts. This
information is necessary to handle systems with heterogeneous PMU
implementations (e.g. big.LITTLE). Documentation is added describing the
use of said property.
