[PATCH 1/5] perf_counter: Add open/close pmu callbacks

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Add the open() and close() callback to the pmu structure.
Open is called when a counter is initialized just after it's allocation
and close is called when the counter is about to be released.

These callbacks are useful for example when a pmu has to deal with
several registers and needs to maintain an internal list of counters
using them. Given such list, the pmu is able to check if the the number
of physical registers are still sufficient for the new created counter
and then accept or refuse this counter.

open() will return 0 in case of success or an error if we have not
enough registers for the given counter (or whatever error a pmu may
encounter).
