Kan Liang 722e42e45c perf/x86: Support counter mask
The current perf assumes that both GP and fixed counters are contiguous.
But it's not guaranteed on newer Intel platforms or in a virtualization
environment.

Use the counter mask to replace the number of counters for both GP and
the fixed counters. For the other ARCHs or old platforms which don't
support a counter mask, using GENMASK_ULL(num_counter - 1, 0) to
replace. There is no functional change for them.

The interface to KVM is not changed. The number of counters still be
passed to KVM. It can be updated later separately.
