libfuzzer found the following command could segv:
```
$ perf stat -e cpu/L2,L2/ true
```
This is because the L2 term rewrites the perf_event_attr type to
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE which then fails the PMU lookup for the second
legacy cache term.

The new failure is consistent with repeated hardware terms:
```
$ perf stat -e cpu/L2,L2/ true
event syntax error: 'cpu/L2,L2/'
                            \___ Failed to find PMU for type 3

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'cpu/L2,L2/'
                            \___ Failed to find PMU for type 3
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
$ perf stat -e cpu/cycles,cycles/ true
event syntax error: 'cpu/cycles,cycles/'
                                \___ Failed to find PMU for type 0

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'cpu/cycles,cycles/'
                                \___ Failed to find PMU for type 0
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```
