perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfaces

Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".

The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.

Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his input.
