[PATCH v3 1/4] perf: add active_entry list head to struct perf_event

[Stephane Eranian]

This patch adds a new fields to the struct perf_event.
It is intended to be used to chain events which are
active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer
for PMU which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e.,
free running read-only counters. Active events are chained
as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use.
