This erratum is found when system hang reported by internal
benchmarking team while they were trying ThunderX2 PMU uncore
events along with cpu/memory intensive applications like stream,
SPECjbb, SPECInt, etc.

The workaround is to disable event multiplexing.

The current Perf core does not provide any provision to PMUs
to disable event multiplexing. In first patch, adding PMU
capability to disable event multiplexing in perf core.
In second patch, setting the capability to disable for
the ThunderX2 UNCORE PMUs.
