This reverts commit 6966ad0abe ("platform/lib: Allow the OS to map the
regions that are protected by PMP").
It was thought at the time of this commit that allowing the kernel to map
PMP protected regions was safe but it is actually not: for example, the
hibernation process will try to access any linear mapping page and then
will fault on such mapped PMP regions [1]. Another issue is that the
device tree specification [2] states that a !no-map region must be
declared as EfiBootServicesData/Code in the EFI memory map which would make
the PMP protected regions reclaimable by the kernel. And to circumvent
this, RISC-V edk2 diverges from the DT specification to declare those
regions as EfiReserved.
The no-map attribute was removed to allow the kernel to use hugepages
larger than 2MB to map the linear mapping to improve the performance but
actually a recent talk from Mike Rapoport [3] stated that the
performance benefit was marginal.
For all those reasons, let's mark all the PMP protected regions as "no-map".

As per the SBI specification, we should "unconditionally select the first
counter from the set of counters specified by the counter_idx_base and
counter_idx_mask", so implement this behaviour.

Those events are enabled by default and should not be reset afterwards
since when using SBI_PMU_CFG_FLAG_SKIP_MATCH, it leads to unaccessible
counters after the first use.
