Currently, when the CPU is doing suspend to ram, we don't
save pmu counter register and its content will be lost.
To ensure perf profiling is not affected by suspend to ram,
this patch is based on arm_pmu CPU_PM notifier and implements riscv
pmu pm notifier. In the pm notifier, we stop the counter and update
the counter value before suspend and start the counter after resume.

RISC-V SBI specification added a PMU extension that allows to configure
start/stop any pmu counter. The RISC-V perf can use most of the generic
perf features except interrupt overflow and event filtering based on
privilege mode which will be added in future.
It also allows to monitor a handful of firmware counters that can provide
insights into firmware activity during a performance analysis.

Implement a perf core library that can support all the essential perf
features in future. It can also accommodate any type of PMU implementation
in future. Currently, both SBI based perf driver and legacy driver
implemented uses the library. Most of the common perf functionalities
are kept in this core library wile PMU specific driver can implement PMU
specific features. For example, the SBI specific functionality will be
implemented in the SBI specific driver.
