core-book3s currently uses array to store the MMCR registers as part of per-cpu `cpu_hw_events`. This patch does a clean up to use `struct` to store mmcr regs instead of array. This will make code easier to read and reduces chance of any subtle bug that may come in the future, say when new registers are added. Patch updates all relevant code that was using MMCR array ( cpuhw->mmcr[x]) to use newly introduced `struct`. This includes the PMU driver code for supported platforms (power5 to power9) and ISA macros for counter support functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
