perf: arm64: Add SVE vector granule register to user regs
Dwarf based unwinding in a function that pushes SVE registers onto
the stack requires the unwinder to know the length of the SVE register
to calculate the stack offsets correctly. This was added to the Arm
specific Dwarf spec as the VG pseudo register[1].
Add the vector length at position 46 if it's requested by userspace and
SVE is supported. If it's not supported then fail to open the event.
The vector length must be on each sample because it can be changed
at runtime via a prctl or ptrace call. Also by adding it as a register
rather than a separate attribute, minimal changes will be required in an
unwinder that already indexes into the register list.
