[PATCH] drivers/perf: arm_pmu: save/restore cpu cycle counter in cpu_pm_pmu_notify

Sometimes userspace need a high resolution cycle counter by reading
pmccntr_el0.

In commit da4e4f18afe0 ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: implement CPU_PM
notifier"), it resets all the counters even when the pmcr_el0.E and
pmcntenset_el0.C are both 1 . That is incorrect.

We need to save the registers and counter before CPU_PM_ENTER and
restore them after CPU_PM_EXIT.

Fixes: da4e4f18afe0 ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: implement CPU_PM notifier")
