[PATCH V5 5/9] perf: Passing struct perf_event to function setup_aux()

Some information, like driver specific configuration, is found
in the hw_perf_event structure.  As such pass a 'struct perf_event'
to function setup_aux() rather than just the CPU number so that
individual drivers can make the right configuration when setting
up a session.

For example the sink definition for a given CoreSight session can be
embedded in the perf cmd line:

perf record -e cs_etm/@sink=20070000.etr/ ...

The string "sink=20070000.etr" is conveyed to the kernel by way of
of an ioctl() call.  From there is is handed over to the PMU driver
for parsing and processing.  If the format is valid the substring
"20070000.etr" is kept in the hw_perf_event::drv_configs for future
reference.

When pmu::setup_aux() is called information about both the
perf_event::cpu and the hw_perf_event::drv_configs is needed to setup
a path from source to sink.
