Patch set to add support for perf extended register capability in
powerpc. The capability flag PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, is used to
indicate the PMU which support extended registers. The generic code
define the mask of extended registers as 0 for non supported architectures.

Patches 1 and 2 are the kernel side changes needed to include
base support for extended regs in powerpc and in power10.
Patches 3 and 4 are the perf tools side changes needed to support the
extended registers.

patch 1/4 defines the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS mask to output the
values of mmcr0,mmcr1,mmcr2 for POWER9. Defines `PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK`
at runtime which contains mask value of the supported registers under
extended regs.

patch 2/4 adds the extended regs support for power10 and exposes
MMCR3, SIER2, SIER3 registers as part of extended regs.

Patch 3/4 and 4/4 adds extended regs to sample_reg_mask in the tool
side to use with `-I?` option for power9 and power10 respectively.

Ravi bangoria found an issue with `perf record -I` while testing the
changes. The same issue is currently being worked on here: 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/19/413 and will be resolved once fix
from Jin Yao is merged.

This patch series is based on powerpc/next

Changelog:

Changes from v3 -> v4
- Split the series and send extended regs as separate patch set here.
  Link to previous series :
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=190462&state=*
  Other PMU patches are already merged in powerpc/next. 

- Fixed kernel build issue when using config having
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS set and without CONFIG_PPC_PERF_CTRS
  reported by kernel build bot.
- Included Reviewed-by from Kajol Jain.
- Addressed review comments from Ravi Bangoria to initialize `perf_reg_extended_max`
  and define it in lowercase since it is local variable.
