    perf mem: Scan all PMUs instead of just core ones
    
    Scanning only core PMUs is not sufficient on platforms like AMD since
    perf mem on AMD uses IBS OP PMU, which is independent of core PMU.
    Scan all PMUs instead of just core PMUs. There should be negligible
    performance overhead because of scanning all PMUs, so we should be okay.
