[PATCH] arm: armv7: perf: fix armv7 ref-cycles error

[zhangzhiqiang]

hi all,
----------------------------------------

ref-cycles event is specially to Intel core, but can still used in arm architecture
with the wrong return value with 3.10 stable. for instance:

 perf stat -e ref-cycles sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

  	0 ref-cycles

       1.002381916 seconds time elapsed

this patch fix the bug and make it return NOT SUPPORTED
distinctly.

In upstream this bug has been fixed by other way(not primary for the bug), which changes more than one file
and more than 1000 lines. the primary commit is 6b7658ec8a100b608e59e3cde353434db51f5be0.
besides we can not simply cherry-pick.

so, can we fix it in this way and put it into 3.10 stable repo.
