[PATCH v2 09/18] perf pmu: Parse sysfs events directly from a file

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Rather than read a sysfs events file into a 256 byte char buffer, pass
the FILE* directly to the lex/yacc parser. This avoids there being a
maximum events file size. While changing the API, constify some
arguments to remove unnecessary casts. Allocating the read buffer
decreases the performance of pmu-scan by around 3%.
