perf_counter: fix type/event_id layout on big-endian systems

Impact: build fix for powerpc

Commit db3a944aca35ae61 ("perf_counter: revamp syscall input ABI")
expanded the hw_event.type field into a union of structs containing
bitfields.  In particular it introduced a type field and a raw_type
field, with the intention that the 1-bit raw_type field should
overlay the most-significant bit of the 8-bit type field, and in fact
perf_counter_alloc() now assumes that (or at least, assumes that
raw_type doesn't overlay any of the bits that are 1 in the values of
PERF_TYPE_{HARDWARE,SOFTWARE,TRACEPOINT}).

Unfortunately this is not true on big-endian systems such as PowerPC,
where bitfields are laid out from left to right, i.e. from most
significant bit to least significant.  This means that setting
hw_event.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will set hw_event.raw_type to 1.

This fixes it by making the layout depend on whether or not
__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD is defined.  It's a bit ugly, but that's what
we get for using bitfields in a user/kernel ABI.

Also, that commit didn't fix up some places in arch/powerpc/kernel/
perf_counter.c where hw_event.raw and hw_event.event_id were used.
This fixes them too.
