[PATCH 3/3] perf/arm-cmn: Enable per-DTC counter allocation

Finally enable independent per-DTC-domain counter allocation, except on
CMN-600 where we still need to cope with not knowing the domain topology
and thus keep counter indices sychronised across domains. This allows
users to simultaneously count up to 8 targeted events per domain, rather
than 8 globally, for up to 4x wider coverage on maximum configurations.

Even though this now looks deceptively simple, I stand by my previous
assertion that it was a flippin' nightmare to implement; all the real
head-scratchers are hidden in the foundations in the previous patch...
