hw-breakpoints: Arbitrate access to pmu following registers constraints

Allow or refuse to build a counter using the breakpoints pmu following
given constraints.

We keep track of the pmu users by using three per cpu variables:

- nr_cpu_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned cpu breakpoints counters
  in the given cpu

- nr_bp_flexible stores the number of non-pinned breakpoints counters
  in the given cpu.

- task_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned task breakpoints in a cpu

The latter is not a simple counter but gathers the number of tasks that
have n pinned breakpoints.
Considering HBP_NUM the number of available breakpoint address
registers:
   task_bp_pinned[0] is the number of tasks having 1 breakpoint
   task_bp_pinned[1] is the number of tasks having 2 breakpoints
   [...]
   task_bp_pinned[HBP_NUM - 1] is the number of tasks having the
   maximum number of registers (HBP_NUM).

When a breakpoint counter is created and wants an access to the pmu,
we evaluate the following constraints:

== Non-pinned counter ==

- If attached to a single cpu, check:

    (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) || (per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
         + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu)))) < HBP_NUM

       -> If there are already non-pinned counters in this cpu, it
          means there is already a free slot for them.
          Otherwise, we check that the maximum number of per task
          breakpoints (for this cpu) plus the number of per cpu
          breakpoint (for this cpu) doesn't cover every registers.

- If attached to every cpus, check:

    (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) || (max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
           + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *)))) < HBP_NUM

       -> This is roughly the same, except we check the number of per
          cpu bp for every cpu and we keep the max one. Same for the
          per tasks breakpoints.

== Pinned counter ==

- If attached to a single cpu, check:

       ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) > 1)
            + per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
            + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu))) < HBP_NUM

       -> Same checks as before. But now the nr_bp_flexible, if any,
          must keep one register at least (or flexible breakpoints will
          never be be fed).

- If attached to every cpus, check:

      ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) > 1)
           + max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
           + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *))) < HBP_NUM

Changes in v2:

- Counter -> event rename

Changes in v5:

- Fix unreleased non-pinned task-bound-only counters. We only released
  it in the first cpu. (Thanks to Paul Mackerras for reporting that)

Changes in v6:

- Currently, events scheduling are done in this order: cpu context
  pinned + cpu context non-pinned + task context pinned + task context
  non-pinned events. Then our current constraints are right theoretically
  but not in practice, because non-pinned counters may be scheduled
  before we can apply every possible pinned counters. So consider
  non-pinned counters as pinned for now.
