Currently Monitor Mode Control Registers and Sampling registers are
part of extended regs. Patch adds support to include Performance Monitor
Counter Registers (PMC1 to PMC6 ) as part of extended registers.

PMCs are saved in the perf interrupt handler as part of
per-cpu array 'pmcs' in struct cpu_hw_events. While capturing
the register values for extended regs, fetch these saved PMC values.

Simplified the PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300/31 definition to include PMU
SPRs MMCR0 to PMC6. Exclude the unsupported SPRs (MMCR3, SIER2, SIER3)
from extended mask value for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 in the new definition.

PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX is used to check if any index beyond the extended
registers is requested in the sample. Have one PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX
for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300/CPU_FTR_ARCH_31 since perf_reg_validate function
already checks the extended mask for the presence of any unsupported
register.
