Legacy PMU shouldn't enable perf sampling in the first place. We need
to set the capabilities accordingly.

Having said that, there is no harm in defining the width function for
legacy PMU.
The common riscv_pmu.c fixes the counter width to 63 if ctr_get_width
is not defined. We may be to get rid of that
as both drivers will have a valid function pointer.
