The PMU export bit (PMCR_EL0.X) is getting reset during pmu reset,
Make it configurable using sysctls to enable/disable at runtime.

Changes since V5:
- removed configuring with kernel parameters.
Changes since V4:
- Registering sysctls dynamically for only arm64 as suggested by Will
- Not removed the code to configure with kernel parameters
as the sysctl's kernel parameter(sysctl.kernel.export_pmu_events)
is not working at early bootup. pmu_reset() getting called before
sysctl's kernel parameter is set.
Changes since V3:
- export bit is now configurable with sysctl
- enabling export bit on reset instead of retaining
Changes since V2:
Done below changes as per Will's comments
- enabling pmcr_x now configurable with kernel parameters and
by default it is disabled.
Changes since V1:
- Preserving only PMCR_X bit as per Robin Murphy's comment.
