Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] arm_pmu: Tidy up clear_event_idx call backs

The armpmu uses get_event_idx callback to allocate an event
counter for a given event, which marks the selected counter
as "used". Now, when we delete the counter, the arm_pmu goes
ahead and clears the "used" bit and then invokes the "clear_event_idx"
call back, which kind of splits the job between the core code
and the backend. Tidy this up by relying on the clear_event_idx
to do the book keeping, if available. Otherwise, let the core
driver do the default "clear" bit operation. This will be useful
for adding the chained event support, where we leave the event
idx maintenance to the backend.

Also, when an event is removed from the PMU, reset the hw.idx
to indicate that a counter is not allocated for this event,
to help the backends do better checks. This will be also used
for the chain counter support.
