Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Loongson: Add support for perf tool

In order to use perf tool on the Loongson platform, we should enable kernel
support for various performance events provided by software and hardware,
so add CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y to loongson3_defconfig.

E.g. without this patch:

[loongson@...alhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  duration_time                                      [Tool event]

  rNNN                                               [Raw hardware event descriptor]
  cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier                  [Raw hardware event descriptor]
   (see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)

  mem:<addr>[/len][:access]                          [Hardware breakpoint]

With this patch:

[loongson@...alhost perf]$ ./perf list

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
