perf/x86/intel: Generic support for hardware TopDown metrics

Intro
=====

The TopDown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. Current perf has supported the method.

The method works well, but there is one problem. To collect the TopDown
events, several GP counters have to be used. If a user wants to collect
other events at the same time, the multiplexing probably be triggered,
which impacts the accuracy.

To free up the scarce GP counters, the hardware TopDown metrics feature
is introduced from Ice Lake. The hardware implements an additional
"metrics" register and a new Fixed Counter 3 that measures pipeline
"slots". The TopDown events can be calculated from them instead.

Events
======

The level 1 TopDown has four metrics. There is no event-code assigned to
the TopDown metrics. Four metric events are exported as separate perf
events, which map to the internal "metrics" counter register. Those
events do not exist in hardware, but can be allocated by the scheduler.

For the event mapping, a special 0x00 event code is used, which is
reserved for fake events. The metric events start from umask 0x10.

When setting up the metric events, they point to the Fixed Counter 3.
They have to be specially handled.
- Add the update_topdown_event() callback to read the additional metrics
  MSR and generate the metrics.
- Add the set_topdown_event_period() callback to initialize metrics MSR
  and the fixed counter 3.
- Add a variable n_metric_event to track the number of the accepted
  metrics events. The sharing between multiple users of the same metric
  without multiplexing is not allowed.
- Only enable/disable the fixed counter 3 when there are no other active
  TopDown events, which avoid the unnecessary writing of the fixed
  control register.
- Disable the PMU when reading the metrics event. The metrics MSR and
  the fixed counter 3 are read separately. The values may be modified by
  an NMI.

All four metric events don't support sampling. Since they will be
handled specially for event update, a flag PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN is
introduced to indicate this case.

The slots event can support both sampling and counting.
For counting, the flag is also applied.
For sampling, it will be handled normally as other normal events.

Groups
======

The slots event is required in a Topdown group.
To avoid reading the METRICS register multiple times, the metrics and
slots value can only be updated by slots event in a group.
All active slots and metrics events will be updated one time.
Therefore, the slots event must be before any metric events in a Topdown
group.

NMI
======

The METRICS related register may be overflow. The bit 48 of the STATUS
register will be set. If so, PERF_METRICS and Fixed counter 3 are
required to be reset. The patch also update all active slots and
metrics events in the NMI handler.

The update_topdown_event() has to read two registers separately. The
values may be modified by an NMI. PMU has to be disabled before calling
the function.

RDPMC
======

RDPMC is temporarily disabled. A later patch will enable it.
