[PATCH 2/8] perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpc

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>

PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for
the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes
"/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to
support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.

This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:
