[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/perf: Infrastructure to support addition of blacklisted events

Introduce code to support addition of blacklisted events for a
processor version. A 'pointer' and 'int' variable to hold the
number of events are added to 'struct power_pmu', along with a
generic function to loop through the list to validate the given
event. Generic function 'is_event_blacklisted' is called in
power_pmu_event_init() to detect and reject early.
