Subject: [PATCH] perf/arm-cmn: Validate cycles events fully

DTC cycle count events don't have anything to validate or initialise in
themselves, but we should not forget to still validate their whole group
context. Otherwise, we may fail to correctly reject a contrived group
containing an impossible number of cycles events.
