Sukadev Bhattiprolu 4a00c16e55 perf/core: Define PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface
Define a new PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface to read a group of counters
at once.

        pmu->start_txn()                // Initialize before first event

        for each event in group
                pmu->read(event);       // Queue each event to be read

        rc = pmu->commit_txn()          // Read/update all queued counters

Note that we use this interface with all PMUs.  PMUs that implement this
interface use the ->read() operation to _queue_ the counters to be read
and use ->commit_txn() to actually read all the queued counters at once.

PMUs that don't implement PERF_PMU_TXN_READ ignore ->start_txn() and
->commit_txn() and continue to read counters one at a time.

Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.
