[PATCH v3] powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

With a file ~/.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
