[PATCH 2/8] perf: Add attr_groups_update into struct pmu

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding attr_update attribute group into pmu, to allow
having multiple attribute groups for same group name.

This will allow us to update "events" or "format"
directories with attributes that depend on various
HW conditions.

For example having group_format_extra group that updates
"format" directory only if pmu version is 2 and higher:

  static umode_t
  exra_is_visible(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr, int i)
  {
         return x86_pmu.version >= 2 ? attr->mode : 0;
  }

  static struct attribute_group group_format_extra = {
         .name       = "format",
         .is_visible = exra_is_visible,
  };
