[PATCH v12 5/7] arm64: pmu: Detect multiple generic PMUs and append counter

In heterogeneous CPU systems its likely that there are multiple
PMU types. If a system is using the generic armv8_pmuv3 rather
than a PMU with a hard-coded set of events then we want to uniquely
identify each PMU in /sys. We do this by appending an "_x" to the
pmu name. This then creates PMUs like, "armv8_pmuv3" and
"armv8_pmuv3_1", "armv8_pmuv3_2" for a system with 3 PMU types.
