perf, x86: P4 PMU - Introduce event alias feature
Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only. The main idea remains the same though -- to allow nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously. Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some additional bits set inside ESCR register changing the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore that alias event will give the same result. P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing and early review.
