Subject: [PATCH 1/3] arm/pmu: Reject groups spanning multiple hardware PMUs

From: "Suzuki K. Poulose" <suzuki.poulose@....com>

Don't allow grouping hardware events from different PMUs
 (eg. CCI + CPU).

Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2,
with CCI PMU turned on. The validate_event(), after certain checks,
assumes that the given hardware pmu event belongs to armpmu,
which may not be true always, with other hardware PMUs
around (CCI, CCN).

Also cleans up the code to use the arm_pmu only when we know that
we are dealing with an arm pmu event.
