[PATCH V4 2/7] arm64/perf: Update struct arm_pmu for BRBE

Although BRBE is an armv8 speciifc HW feature, abstracting out its various
function callbacks at the struct arm_pmu level is preferred, as it cleaner
, easier to follow and maintain.

Besides some helpers i.e brbe_supported(), brbe_probe() and brbe_reset()
might not fit seamlessly, when tried to be embedded via existing arm_pmu
helpers in the armv8 implementation.

Updates the 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.
