[PATCH] perf/core: move all of the pmu devices into their own location

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

In sysfs, for some reason, all pmu devices seem to show up in the "root"
of /sys/devices/ making for a confusing mess as these devices are not
really at the root of the system at all.

Create a fake root devices, "pmu_bus" and place them all under there if
they do not already have a parent device set, cleaning up sysfs to look
more sane.

Note, if you all don't like "pmu_bus" for the name, that's fine, please
let me know and I can rename it to something else, but it should be
something to get these objects out of the root sysfs directory.
