Dapeng Mi 16dccbb842 perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch__xxx_reg_mask() functions ...

Currently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such as
arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the
__weak attribute.

This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of
the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and
binary size.

However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called
only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture
functionality.

For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM
platform.

To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from
these perf-regs functions.

The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the
util/perf-regs-arch/ directory.

The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the
EM_HOST.

No functional changes are intended.
