The hv_24×7 feature in IBM® POWER9™ processor-based servers provide the
facility to continuously collect large numbers of hardware performance
metrics efficiently and accurately.

Patchset adds json file metric support for the hv_24x7 socket/chip level
events. "hv_24x7" pmu interface events needs system dependend parameter
like socket/chip/core. For example, hv_24x7 chip level events needs
specific chip-id to which the data is requested should be added as part
of pmu events.

So to enable JSON file support to "hv_24x7" interface, patchset expose
total number of sockets and chips per-socket details in sysfs
files (sockets, chips) under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".

To get sockets and number of chips per sockets, patchset adds a rtas call
with token "PROCESSOR_MODULE_INFO" to get these details. Patchset also
handles partition migration case to re-init these system depended parameters
by adding proper calls in post_mobility_fixup() (mobility.c).

Patch 5 and 6 of the patchset handles perf tool plumbing needed to replace the "?"
character in the metric expression to proper value and hv_24x7 json metric file
for different Socket/chip resources.
