iommu/vt-d: Retrieve IOMMU perfmon capability information



The performance monitoring infrastructure, perfmon, is to support
collection of information about key events occurring during operation of
the remapping hardware, to aid performance tuning and debug. Each
remapping hardware unit has capability registers that indicate support
for performance monitoring features and enumerate the capabilities.

Add alloc_iommu_pmu() to retrieve IOMMU perfmon capability information
for each iommu unit. The information is stored in the iommu->pmu data
structure. Capability registers are read-only, so it's safe to prefetch
and store them in the pmu structure. This could avoid unnecessary VMEXIT
when this code is running in the virtualization environment.

Add free_iommu_pmu() to free the saved capability information when
freeing the iommu unit.

Add a kernel config option for the IOMMU perfmon feature. Unless a user
explicitly uses the perf tool to monitor the IOMMU perfmon event, there
isn't any impact for the existing IOMMU. Enable it by default.
