ARM: 6975/1: pmu: reject duplicate PMU registrations
Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the sequence: register_pmu(pmu1); reserve_pmu(pmu_type); register_pmu(pmu2); release_pmu(pmu1); Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved. This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.
