ARM: 6072/1: oprofile: use perf-events framework as backend

There are currently two hardware performance monitoring subsystems in
the kernel for ARM: OProfile and perf-events. This creates the
following problems:

1.) Duplicate PMU accessor code. Inevitable code drift may lead to
bugs in one framework that are fixed in the other.

2.) Locking issues. OProfile doesn't reprogram hardware counters
between profiling runs if the events to be monitored have not been
changed. This means that other profiling frameworks cannot use the
counters if OProfile is in use.

3.) Due to differences in the two frameworks, it may not be possible to
compare the results obtained by OProfile with those obtained by perf.

This patch removes the OProfile PMU driver code and replaces it with
calls to perf, therefore solving the issues mentioned above.

The only userspace-visible change is the lack of SCU counter support
for 11MPCore. This is currently unsupported by OProfile userspace tools anyway and therefore shouldn't cause any problems.
