powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints

Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced
for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and
two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the
stack, along with some other smaller variables.  These arrays come
to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the
stack.

This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing
per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct.  This is OK because two of the call
sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we
use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't
get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().
Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context
switch but is not called from interrupts.
