[PATCH] arm64: pmuv3: Support v8.1 PMUv3 extension

The PMUVer field can have a value 4 for PMUv3 which supports 16 bit
evtCount field (this is documented in ARM Architecture Reference Manual
Supplement ARMv8.1).

The current check for PMUVer to be equal to 1 fails on ThunderX2 which
has value 4 in PMUVer field. Fix this.

This applies on top of the current arm64 tree and fixes a breakage due
to the  ACPI perf patches.
