[PATCH v4 14/29] selftests/resctrl: Remove nested calls in perf event handling

From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 10:08:27 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()
- perf_event_measure() 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.
