[PATCH v2] arm64: perf: Use only exclude_kernel attribute when kernel is running in HYP

commit d98ecda (arm64: perf: Count EL2 events if the kernel is running in HYP)
is returning error for perf syscall with mixed attribute set for exclude_kernel
and exclude_hv. This change is breaking some applications (observed with hhvm)
when ran on VHE enabled platforms.

Adding fix to consider only exclude_kernel attribute when kernel is
running in HYP. Also adding sysfs file to notify the bhehaviour
of attribute exclude_hv.
