perf: Add group scheduling transactional APIs
Add group scheduling transactional APIs to struct pmu.
These APIs will be implemented in arch code, based on Peter's idea as
below.
> the idea behind hw_perf_group_sched_in() is to not perform
> schedulability tests on each event in the group, but to add the group
> as a whole and then perform one test.
>
> Of course, when that test fails, you'll have to roll-back the whole
> group again.
>
> So start_txn (or a better name) would simply toggle a flag in the pmu
> implementation that will make pmu::enable() not perform the
> schedulablilty test.
>
> Then commit_txn() will perform the schedulability test (so note the
> method has to have a !void return value.
>
> This will allow us to use the regular
> kernel/perf_event.c::group_sched_in() and all the rollback code.
> Currently each hw_perf_group_sched_in() implementation duplicates all
> the rolllback code (with various bugs).
->start_txn:
Start group events scheduling transaction, set a flag to make
pmu::enable() not perform the schedulability test, it will be performed
at commit time.
->commit_txn:
Commit group events scheduling transaction, perform the group
schedulability as a whole
->cancel_txn:
Stop group events scheduling transaction, clear the flag so
pmu::enable() will perform the schedulability test.
