Add couple of basic utility functions to post process the mmap buffer.
It includes function to read the total number of samples present in the
mmap buffer and function to get the address of the first sample.
Add function "get_intr_regs" which will return pointer to interrupt
registers present in the sample, incase sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR is set.
Add functions "get_reg_value" which can be used to read any interrupt
register value from a given sample.

Each platform has raw event encoding format which specifies the bit
positions for different fields. The fields from event code gets
translated into performance monitoring mode control register (MMCRx)
settings. Patch add macros to extract individual fields from the event
code.
Add functions for sanity checks, since testcases currently are only
supported in power9 and power10.

Add support functions for enabling perf sampling test in a new folder
"sampling_tests" under "selftests/powerpc/pmu". This includes support
functions for allocating and processing the mmap buffer. These functions
are added/defined in "sampling_tests/misc.*" files.
Also updates the corresponding Makefiles in "selftests/powerpc" and
"sampling_tests" folder.
