[PATCH v1] perf jevents: Ignore sys when determining a model directory

[Ian Rogers]

Existing sys directories aren't placed under a model directory like
skylake. Placing a sys directory there causes the `is_leaf_dir` test
to fail and consequently no events or metrics are generated for the
model. Ignore sys directories in this case and update the comments to
reflect why.

This change has no affect, but when testing with a sys directory for a
model people have reported running into the no event/metric issue.
