Separate the code in pmu.[ch] into the set/list of PMUs and the code
for a particular PMU. Move the set/list of PMUs code into
pmus.[ch]. Clean up hybrid code and remove hybrid PMU list, it is
sufficient to scan PMUs looking for core ones. Add core PMU list and
perf_pmus__scan_core that just reads core PMUs. Switch code that skips
non-core PMUs during a perf_pmus__scan, to use the
perf_pmus__scan_core variant. Don't scan sysfs for PMUs if all such
PMUs have been previously scanned/loaded. Scanning just core PMUs, for
the cases it is applicable, can improve the sysfs reading time by more
than 4 fold on my laptop, as servers generally have many more uncore
PMUs the improvement there should be larger:
```
$ perf bench internals pmu-scan -i 1000
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 1000 times
Average core PMU scanning took: 989.231 usec (+- 1.535 usec)
Average PMU scanning took: 4309.425 usec (+- 74.322 usec)
```
The patch "perf pmu: Separate pmu and pmus" moves and renames a lot of
functions, and is consequently large. The changes are trivial, but
kept together to keep the overall number of patches more reasonable.
v3. Address fixing hybrid user specified CPU maps by doing it in
propagate maps. Remove nearly all references to cpu_core/cpu_atom
in particular by removing is_pmu_hybrid - hybrid is now >1 core
PMU. Addresses comments by Kan and Namhyung.
v2. Address Kan's review comments wrt "cycles" -> "cycles:P" and
"uncore_pmus" -> "other_pmus".
