[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu

powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

With a file like ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json describing
Power8 PMU events, we would need to run:

perf stat \
--events-file ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json \
-e PM_CYC sleep 1

With this get_cpu_str(), on Powerpc, we can skip the --events-file option
and run:

perf stat -e PM_CYC sleep 1
