Subject: [PATCH 6.12 1019/1376] perf python: Add support for struct perf_counts_values to return counter data

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gautam Menghani <gautam@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 3b4991dcb49e1d99129ead644858cf7f77b8fb6b ]

Add support for the perf_counts_values struct to enable the python
bindings to read and return the counter data.

Committer notes:

Use T_ULONG instead of Py_T_ULONG, as all the other PyMemberDef arrays,
fixing the build with older python3 versions.

Use { .name = NULL, } to finish the new PyMemberDef
pyrf_counts_values_members array, again as the other arrays to please
some clang versions, ditto for PyGetSetDef.
