[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Optimize find_alternatives_list() using binary search

[Kuan-Wei Chiu <visitorckw@gmail.com>]

This patch improves the performance of event alternative lookup by
replacing the previous linear search with a more efficient binary
search. This change reduces the time complexity for the search process
from O(n) to O(log(n)). A pre-sorted table of event values and their
corresponding indices has been introduced to expedite the search
process.
