selftests/powerpc: Add read/write debugfs file, int

Debugfs files are not always integers, so make *_file return/write a
byte buffer, and *_int deal with int values specifically. This increases
consistency with the other file read/write helpers.

selftests/powerpc: Fix L1D flushing tests for Power10

The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1
perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed
over time:

- Power7 uses 0x400f0
- Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054
- Power10 uses only 0x3e054

Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read
misses in the most explicit way available.

This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as
PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests
already worked on.

The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event
requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform.

selftests/powerpc: refactor entry and rfi_flush tests

For simplicity in backporting, the original entry_flush test contained
a lot of duplicated code from the rfi_flush test. De-duplicate that code.

# 89a83a0c 16-Nov-2020 Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>

selftests/powerpc: entry flush test

Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number
of L1D misses doing a simple syscall with the entry flush on and off.

For simplicity of backporting, this test duplicates a lot of code from
rfi_flush. We clean that up in the next patch.
