[PATCH 4/6] arm64: pmu: Add hook to handle pmu-related undefined instructions

[Raphael Gault <raphael.gault@arm.com>]

In order to prevent the userspace processes which are trying to access
the registers from the pmu registers on a big.LITTLE environment we
introduce a hook to handle undefined instructions.

The goal here is to prevent the process to be interrupted by a signal
when the error is caused by the task being scheduled while accessing
a counter, causing the counter access to be invalid. As we are not able
to know efficiently the number of counters available physically on both
pmu in that context we consider that any faulting access to a counter
which is architecturally correct should not cause a SIGILL signal if
the permissions are set accordingly.
