Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Unify scaling of counters obtained from perf_evsel__read()

This patch series unifies the counters that can be obtained from
perf_evsel__read() to "no scaling".
The counter scaling will be done using a function moved from
tools/perf/util.

The first patch move perf_counts_values__scale from tools/perf/util
to tools/lib/perf so that it can be used with libperf.

The second patch removes the scaling process from
perf_mmap__read_self().

The third patch adds a verification test to make sure that it scales
correctly when multiplexed.
