[PATCH V3 0/4] perf/core: Assert PERF_EVENT_FLAG_ARCH is followed

This series ensures that PERF_EVENT_FLAG_ARCH mask is followed correctly
while defining all the platform specific hardware event flags. But first
this expands PERF_EVENT_FLAG_ARCH with another four bits, to accommodate
some x86 platform event flags which were going beyond the existing mask.

This series applies on v6.0-rc4.

Changes in V3:

- Reworked event flags check on x86 platform as per Peter

Changes in V2:

- Added first patch to expand PERF_EVENT_FLAG_ARCH
- Converted all BUILD_BUG_ON() into static_assert() 

Changes in V1:
