[PATCH] arm64: kernel: fix PMUv3 registers unconditional access

The Performance Monitors extension is an optional feature of the
AArch64 architecture, therefore, in order to access Performance
Monitors registers safely, the kernel should detect the PMUv3 unit
presence through the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 register PMUVer field before
accessing them.

This patch implements a guard by reading the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 register
PMUVer field to detect the PMUv3 presence and prevent accessing PMUv3
system registers if the Performance Monitors extension is not
implemented in the core.

Based on arm64 for-next/perf branch.

Tested on QEMU and Juno, I checked that the reported PMUVer field
is correct on both A57 and A53 (ie == 0x1), it should leave behaviour
unchanged on platforms implementing PMUv3.
