Nested PMU support requires dynamically changing the visible range of PMU counters based on the exception level and value of MDCR_EL2.HPMN. At the same time, the PMU emulation code needs to know the absolute number of implemented counters, regardless of context. Rename the existing helper to make it obvious that it returns the number of implemented counters and not anything else.

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 reStructuredText 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.
