selftests/powerpc/pmu: Add selftest to check PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR option will not crash on any platforms

With sampling, --intr-regs option is used for capturing
interrupt regs. When --intr-regs option is used, PMU code
uses is_sier_available() function which uses PMU flags in
the code. In environment where platform specific PMU is
not registered, PMU flags is not defined. A fix was added
in kernel to address crash while accessing is_sier_available()
function when pmu is not set. commit f75e7d73 ("powerpc/perf:
Fix crash with is_sier_available when pmu is not set").

Add perf sampling test to exercise this code and make sure
enabling intr_regs shouldn't crash in any platform. Testcase
uses software event cycles since software event will work even
in cases without PMU.
