[PATCH 2/8] perf x86: Filter out undefined events from sysfs events attribute

[Jiri Olsa]

The sysfs events group attribute currently shows all hw events,
including also undefined ones.

This patch filters out all undefined events out of the sysfs events
group attribute, so they don't even show up.
