Like x86, some users may want to disable userspace PMU counter altogether. Add a sysctl 'perf_user_access' file to control userspace counter access. The default is '0' which is disabled. Writing '1' enables access. Note that x86 supports globally enabling user access by writing '2' to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/rdpmc. As there's not existing userspace support to worry about, this shouldn't be necessary for Arm. It could be added later if the need arises.
