perf: RISC-V: Define helper functions expose hpm counter width and count


KVM module needs to know how many hardware counters and the counter
width that the platform supports. Otherwise, it will not be able to show
optimal value of virtual counters to the guest. The virtual hardware
counters also need to have the same width as the logical hardware
counters for simplicity. However, there shouldn't be mapping between
virtual hardware counters and logical hardware counters. As we don't
support hetergeneous harts or counters with different width as of now,
the implementation relies on the counter width of the first available
programmable counter.
