The PMU export bit (PMCR_EL0.X) is getting reset during pmu reset,Why do you need this during early bootup? Perf won't program any events
Make is configurable using sysctls to enable/disable at runtime.
It can also be enabled at early bootup with kernel arguments.

Changes since V4:
- Registering sysctls dynamically for only arm64 as suggested by Will
- Not removed the code to configure with kernel parameters
as the sysctl's kernel parameter(sysctl.kernel.export_pmu_events)
is not working at early bootup. pmu_reset() getting called before
sysctl's kernel parameter is set.
until much later and if somebody else is configuring the PMU before
entering Linux then they can also set that X bit in the PMCR.
