perf/x86: Add MSR probe interface

Adding perf_msr_probe function to provide interface for
checking up on MSR register and set the related attribute
group visibility.

User defines following struct for each MSR register:

  struct perf_msr {
       u64                       msr;
       struct attribute_group   *grp;
       bool                    (*test)(int idx, void *data);
       bool                      no_check;
  };

Where:
  msr      - is the MSR address
  attrs    - is attribute groups array to add if the check passed
  test     - is test function pointer
  no_check - is bool that bypass the check and adds the
              attribute without any test

The array of struct perf_msr is passed into:

  perf_msr_probe(struct perf_msr *msr, int cnt, bool zero, void *data)

Together with:
  cnt  - which is the number of struct msr array elements
  data - which is user pointer passed to the test function
  zero - allow counters that returns zero on rdmsr

The perf_msr_probe will executed test code, read the MSR and
check the value is != 0. If all these tests pass, related
attribute group is kept visible.

Also adding PMU_EVENT_GROUP macro helper to define attribute
group for single attribute. It will be used in following patches.
