[PATCH v4 2/2] perf/imx_ddr: don't enable counter0 if none of 4 counters

In current driver, counter0 will be enabled after ddr_perf_pmu_enable()
is called even though none of the 4 counters are used. This will cause
counter0 continue to count until ddr_perf_pmu_disabled() is called. If
pmu is not disabled all the time, the pmu interrupt will be asserted
from time to time due to counter0 will overflow and irq handler will
clear it. It's not an expected behavior. This patch will not enable
counter0 if none of 4 counters are used.

Changes in v4:
 - enable cycle counter when active_counter from 0 -> 1
 - disable cycle counter when active_counter from 1 -> 0
 - make ddr_perf_pmu_enable/disable() an empty function
Changes in v3:
 - don't differentiate cycle counter and other counters
 - modify logic in pmu_enable()/pmu_disable()
Changes in v2:
 - add active counter count as suggested from Frank
