MIPS: Add perf counter feature
Add CPU feature for standard MIPS r2 performance counters, as determined by the Config1.PC bit. Both perf_events and oprofile probe this bit, so lets combine the probing and change both to use cpu_has_perf. This will also be used for VZ support in KVM to know whether performance counters exist which can be exposed to guests.
