Subject: [PATCH] riscv: perf: fix build error for dependency issue

CONFIG_RISCV_BASE_PMU can be selected or unselected, but in fact,
CONFIG_RISCV_BASE_PMU must be always selected when selecting
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS on current perf implementation, otherwise, it
would cause the build error when only selecting CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS.
The build case is applied randconfig which generated by kbuild test.

This patch removes the unnecessary configuration and implementations.
Eventually, the number of counters should be determinated at runtime,
such as DTB, so we don't need to re-build kernel for various platform
which has got different number of hpmcounters.
