Perf test case 'perf evlist tests' fails on z/VM machines on s390.
The failure is causes by event cycles. This event is not available
on virtualized machines like z/VM on s390.
Change to software event cpu-clock to fix this.
Output before:
# ./perf test 78
79: perf evlist tests : FAILED!
#
Output after:
# ./perf test 78
79: perf evlist tests : Ok
#
Fixes: b04d2b919912 ("perf test: Fix test case perf evlist tests for s390x")
