Pratyush Anand 1031a15929 arm64: perf: Allow more than one cycle counter to be used
Currently:
$ perf stat -e cycles:u -e cycles:k  true

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

          2,24,699      cycles:u
     <not counted>      cycles:k	(0.00%)

       0.000788087 seconds time elapsed

We can not count more than one cycle counter in one instance,because we
allow to map cycle counter into PMCCNTR_EL0 only. However, if I did not
miss anything then specification do not prohibit to use PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0
for cycle count as well.

Modify the code so that it still prefers to use PMCCNTR_EL0 for cycle
counter, however allow to use PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 if PMCCNTR_EL0 is already
in use.

After this patch:

$ perf stat -e cycles:u -e cycles:k   true

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

          2,17,310      cycles:u
          7,40,009      cycles:k

       0.000764149 seconds time elapsed
