[PATCH v2 1/2] perf riscv: Implement rdtsc()

[Chen Pei]

Perf has no riscv implementation of rdtsc(), so it links against the weak
stub in util/tsc.c and every caller reads a constant 0 that cannot be
told apart from a counter standing still.

Implement rdtsc() over the time CSR with rdtime.  The time CSR is a TSC
equivalent on riscv: readable from user mode, constant frequency, and the
same counter riscv's arch_perf_update_userpage() builds the user page
conversion fields from, so the counter and perf time share a timebase.

Define it for RV64 only.  Reading the counter whole on RV32 takes time and
timeh in a loop, and no RV32 user in tools/perf needs it that much, so
RV32 keeps the weak stub.
