[RESEND PATCH v2] powerpc/kernel/sysfs: Add PMU_SYSFS config option to enable PMU SPRs sysfs file creation

Many of the performance moniroting unit (PMU) SPRs are
exposed in the sysfs. "perf" API is the primary interface to program
PMU and collect counter data in the system. So expose these
PMU SPRs in the absence of CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS.

Patch adds a new CONFIG option 'CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS'. The new config
option used in kernel/sysfs.c for PMU SPRs sysfs file creation and
this new option is enabled only if 'CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS' option is
disabled.

Tested this patch with enable/disable CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS option
in powernv and pseries machines.
Also did compilation testing for different architecture include:
x86, mips, mips64, alpha, arm. And with book3s_32.config option.

Tested using the following different scenarios:
1. CONFIG_PERF_EVENT - enabled, CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS - disabled,
RESULT: not seen any sysfs files(mmrc*, pmc*) from /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu?/
2. CONFIG_PERF_EVENT - disabled, CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS - enabled,
RESULT: seen any sysfs files(mmrc*, pmc*) from /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu?/
3. CONFIG_PERF_EVENT -disabled, CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS - disabled,
RESULT: not possible, any one of the config options need to be enabled.
4. CONFIG_PERF_EVENT -enabled, CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS - enabled,
RESULT: not possible, any one of the config options need to be enabled.

Changelog:
Resend v2 
	Added 'Reviewed-by' and 'Tested-by' tag along with test scenarios.	

v1 -> v2
- Added new config option 'PMU_SYSFS' for PMU SPR's creation
  rather than using PERF_EVENTS config option directly and make
  sure SPR's file creation only if 'CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS' disabled.
