[RFC PATCH 02/14] drivers/perf: apple_m1: Support host/guest event filtering

The PMU appears to have a separate register for filtering 'guest'
exception levels (i.e. EL1 and !ELIsInHost(EL0)) which has the same
layout as PMCR1_EL1. Conveniently, there exists a VHE register alias
(PMCR1_EL12) that can be used to configure it.

Support guest events by programming the EL12 register with the intended
guest kernel/userspace filters. Limit support for guest events to VHE
(i.e. kernel running at EL2), as it avoids involving KVM to context
switch PMU registers. VHE is the only supported mode on M* parts anyway,
so this isn't an actual feature limitation.
