Use "Delta" to refer to the difference between measurements, rather than
"Error", so scripts that look for "Error" aren't confused into thinking
there was a failure.

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open:

  /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
  The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the
  performance counters.
    2 allow only user-space measurements.
    1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default).
    0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
   -1 no restrictions.

require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below
a specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an
unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1.

Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc
which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1
but no skips when set to zero.

With this patch applied there are no skipped selftests/powerpc test when
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 0 or -1.

Adds two tests. One is a simple test to ensure that the new registers
LMRR and LMSER are properly maintained. The other actually uses the
existing EBB test infrastructure to test that LMRR and LMSER behave as
documented.

Currently there is a reg.h in pmu/ebb that has defines that are useful
in other powerpc selftests so move this up into selftests/powerpc
folder. Also include in utils.h - as this is often used in self tests.
Add in some other useful register defines.

EBB (Event Based Branches) are currently only available on POWER8, so we
should skip them on other CPUs.

I've found that at least one test loops forever on 970MP (cycles_with_freeze_test).
