Subject: [PATCH V13 03/10] arm64/perf: Add branch stack support in struct arm_pmu

This updates 'struct arm_pmu' for branch stack sampling support being added
later. This adds an element 'reg_trbidr' to capture BRBE attribute details.
These updates here will help in tracking any branch stack sampling support.

This also enables perf branch stack sampling event on all 'struct arm pmu',
supporting the feature but after removing the current gate that blocks such
events unconditionally in armpmu_event_init(). Instead a quick probe can be
initiated via arm_pmu->has_branch_stack to ascertain the support.
