[PATCH 10/24] selftests/resctrl: Remove nested calls in perf event handling

From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Tue Oct 24 2023 - 05:29:12 EST


Perf event handling has functions that are the sole caller of another
perf event handling related function:
- reset_enable_llc_perf() calls perf_event_open_llc_miss()
- reset_enable_llc_perf() calls ioctl_perf_event_ioc_reset_enable()
- measure_llc_perf() calls get_llc_perf()

Remove the extra layer of calls to make the code easier to follow by
moving the code into the calling function.

In addition, converts print_results_cache() unsigned long parameter to
__u64 that matches the type coming from perf.
