[PATCH V2 4/4] perf parse-events: Move slots event for the hybrid platform too

The commit 94dbfd6781a0 ("perf parse-events: Architecture specific
leader override") introduced a feature to reorder the slots event to
fulfill the restriction of the perf metrics topdown group. But the
feature doesn't work on the hybrid machine.

$perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> cpu_core/instructions/
<not counted> cpu_core/slots/
<not supported> cpu_core/topdown-retiring/

1.002871801 seconds time elapsed

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.

For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

With the patch,

$perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

76,337,010 cpu_core/slots/
10,416,809 cpu_core/instructions/
11,692,372 cpu_core/topdown-retiring/
