perf_counter: More paranoia settings
Rename the perf_counter_priv knob to perf_counter_paranoia (because
priv can be read as private, as opposed to privileged) and provide
one more level:
0 - permissive
1 - restrict cpu counters to privilidged contexts
2 - restrict kernel-mode code counting and profiling
