[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/perf: Infrastructure to support checking of attr.config*

[Madhavan Srinivasan]

Introduce code to support the checking of attr.config* for
values which are reserved for a given platform.
Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) configuration registers
have fileds that are reserved and specific values to bit fields
as reserved. Writing a none zero values in these fields
or writing invalid value to bit fields will have unknown
behaviours.

Patch here add a generic call-back function "check_attr_config"
in "struct power_pmu", to be called in event_init to
check for attr.config* values for a given platform.
"check_attr_config" is valid only for raw event type.
