[RFC V1 03/11] arm64/perf: Update struct arm_pmu for BRBE

This updates struct arm_pmu to include all required helpers that will drive
BRBE functionality for a given PMU implementation. These are the following.

- brbe_filter	: Convert perf event filters into BRBE HW filters
- brbe_probe	: Probe BRBE HW and capture its attributes
- brbe_enable	: Enable BRBE HW with a given config
- brbe_disable	: Disable BRBE HW
- brbe_read	: Read BRBE buffer for captured branch records
- brbe_reset	: Reset BRBE buffer
- brbe_supported: Whether BRBE is supported or not

A BRBE driver implementation needs to provide these functionalities.
