perf/x86/rapl: Add msr mask support

In some cases, when probing a perf MSR, we're probing certain bits of the
MSR instead of the whole register, thus only these bits should be checked.

For example, for RAPL ENERGY_STATUS MSR, only the lower 32 bits represents
the energy counter, and the higher 32bits are reserved.

Introduce a new mask field in struct perf_msr to allow probing certain
bits of a MSR.

This change is transparent to the current perf_msr_probe() users.

perf/x86/rapl: Make perf_probe_msr() more robust and flexible

This patch modifies perf_probe_msr() by allowing passing of
struct perf_msr array where some entries are not populated, i.e.,
they have either an msr address of 0 or no attribute_group pointer.
This helps with certain call paths, e.g., RAPL.

In case the grp is NULL, the default sysfs visibility rule
applies which is to make the group visible. Without the patch,
you would get a kernel crash with a NULL group.

perf/x86: Add MSR probe interface

Adding perf_msr_probe function to provide interface for
checking up on MSR register and set the related attribute
group visibility.

User defines following struct for each MSR register:

struct perf_msr {
u64 msr;
struct attribute_group *grp;
bool (*test)(int idx, void *data);
bool no_check;
};

Where:
msr - is the MSR address
attrs - is attribute groups array to add if the check passed
test - is test function pointer
no_check - is bool that bypass the check and adds the
attribute without any test

The array of struct perf_msr is passed into:

perf_msr_probe(struct perf_msr *msr, int cnt, bool zero, void *data)

Together with:
cnt - which is the number of struct msr array elements
data - which is user pointer passed to the test function
zero - allow counters that returns zero on rdmsr

The perf_msr_probe will executed test code, read the MSR and
check the value is != 0. If all these tests pass, related
attribute group is kept visible.

Also adding PMU_EVENT_GROUP macro helper to define attribute
group for single attribute. It will be used in following patches.
