[PATCH 1/5] perf pmu: Fix core PMU alias list for X86 platform

[kan.liang@linux.intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

When counting uncore event with alias, core event is mistakenly
involved, for example:

  perf stat --no-merge -e "unc_m_cas_count.all" -C0  sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_4]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_2]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_0]
           153,640      unc_m_cas_count.all [cpu]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_5]
            25,026      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_3]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_1]

       1.001447890 seconds time elapsed

The reason is that current implementation doesn't check PMU name of a
event when adding its alias into the alias list for core PMU. The
uncore event aliases are mistakenly added.

This bug was introduced in:
  commit 14b22ae028de ("perf pmu: Add helper function is_pmu_core to
  detect PMU CORE devices")

Checking the PMU name for all PMUs on X86 and other architectures except
ARM.
There is no behavior change for ARM.
