[RFC V3 2/3] perf, tools: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat

[Agustin Vega-Frias <agustinv@codeaurora.org>]

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same type
of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from a single
event specification:
1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
   by perf list, are used.

When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:

    $ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    63      l3cache/read-miss/
                    60      l3cache/read-miss/

           0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

    $ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    12      l3cache_read_miss
                    17      l3cache_read_miss
                    10      l3cache_read_miss
                     8      l3cache_read_miss

           0.001661305 seconds time elapsed

This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:

    $ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    63      l3cache_0_3/read-miss/
                    74      l3cache_0_1/read-miss/
                    64      l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
                    74      l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

           0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

For alias events the name is added after the event name:

    $ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    10      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_3]
                    12      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_1]
                    10      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_2]
                    17      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_0]

           0.001661305 seconds time elapsed
