perf: Allow building PMU drivers as modules
This patch adds support for building PMU driver as module. It exports the functions perf_pmu_{register,unregister}() and adds reference tracking for the PMU driver module. When the PMU driver is built as a module, each active event of the PMU holds a reference to the driver module.
