Define a new PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface to read a group of counters
at once.
pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event
for each event in group
pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read
rc = pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queued counters
Note that we use this interface with all PMUs. PMUs that implement this
interface use the ->read() operation to _queue_ the counters to be read
and use ->commit_txn() to actually read all the queued counters at once.
PMUs that don't implement PERF_PMU_TXN_READ ignore ->start_txn() and
->commit_txn() and continue to read counters one at a time.
Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.
