s390/pai: add support for cryptography counters


PMU device driver perf_pai_crypto supports Processor Activity
Instrumentation (PAI), available with IBM z16:
- maps a full page to lowcore address 0x1500.
- uses CR0 bit 13 to turn PAI crypto counting on and off.
- creates a sample with raw data on each context switch out when
  at context switch some mapped counters have a value of nonzero.
This device driver only supports CPU wide context, no task context
is allowed.

Support for counting:
- one or more counters can be specified using
  perf stat -e pai_crypto/xxx/
  where xxx stands for the counter event name. Multiple invocation
  of this command is possible. The counter names are listed in
  /sys/devices/pai_crypto/events directory.
- one special counters can be specified using
  perf stat -e pai_crypto/CRYPTO_ALL/
  which returns the sum of all incremented crypto counters.
- one event pai_crypto/CRYPTO_ALL/ is reserved for sampling.
  No multiple invocations are possible. The event collects data at
  context switch out and saves them in the ring buffer.

Add qpaci assembly instruction to query supported memory mapped crypto
counters. It returns the number of counters (no holes allowed in that
range).

The PAI crypto counter events are system wide and can not be executed
in parallel. Therefore some restrictions documented in function
paicrypt_busy apply.
In particular event CRYPTO_ALL for sampling must run exclusive.
Only counting events can run in parallel.

PAI crypto counter events can not be created when a CPU hot plug
add is processed. This means a CPU hot plug add does not get
the necessary PAI event to record PAI cryptography counter increments
on the newly added CPU. CPU hot plug remove removes the event and
terminates the counting of PAI counters immediately.
