bus: arm-ccn: make event groups reliable
The CCN PMU driver leaves the counting logic always enabled, and thus
events are enabled while groups are manipulated. As each event is
stopped and read individually, this leads to arbitrary skew across event
groups, which can be seen if counting several identical events.
To avoid this, implement pmu_{enable,disable} callbacks to stop and
start all counters atomically around event manipulation. As the counters
are now stopped, we cannot poll the cycle counter to wait for events to
drain from the bus. However, as the counters are stopped and the events
will not be read regardless, we can simply allow the bus to drain
naturally.
