[PATCH v1 07/10] perf evsel: Add function to compute pmu_name

[Ian Rogers]

The computed pmu_name respects software events and aux event groups,
such that the pmu_name is changed to be that of the aux event leader
or group leader for software events. This is done as a later change
will split events that are in different PMUs into different groups.
