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.

> group again.

> implementation that will make pmu::enable() not perform the
> schedulablilty test.

> 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.
