[PATCH v2 3/4] arm_pmu: Remove unused PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS capability

From: James Clark
Date: Mon Jul 24 2023 - 09:48:59 EST


Since commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") the
relationship between perf_event_context and PMUs has changed so that
the error scenario that PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS originally
silenced no longer exists.

Remove the capability and associated comment to avoid confusion that it
actually influences any perf core behavior. This change should be a
no-op.
