Subject: [PATCH v7] perf: Sharing PMU counters across compatible events

This patch tries to enable PMU sharing. When multiple perf_events are
counting the same metric, they can share the hardware PMU counter. We
call these events as "compatible events".

The PMU sharing are limited to events within the same perf_event_context
(ctx). When a event is installed or enabled, search the ctx for compatible
events. This is implemented in perf_event_setup_dup(). One of these
compatible events are picked as the master (stored in event->dup_master).
Similarly, when the event is removed or disabled, perf_event_remove_dup()
is used to clean up sharing.

A new state PERF_EVENT_STATE_ENABLED is introduced for the master event.
This state is used when the slave event is ACTIVE, but the master event
is not.

On the critical paths (add, del read), sharing PMU counters doesn't
increase the complexity. Helper functions event_pmu_[add|del|read]() are
introduced to cover these cases. All these functions have O(1) time
complexity.
