[PATCH 1/3] perf alias: Remove trailing newline when reading sysfs files

[Thomas Richter]

Remove a trailing newline when reading sysfs file contents
such as /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/TX_NC_TEND.
This show when verbose option -v is used.

Output before:
tx_nc_tend -> 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x008d
'/

Output after:
tx_nc_tend -> 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x8d'/
