perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc

This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.

Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.

This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.
