[PATCH v3 7/7] perf pmus: Treat both numbers of NVIDIA PCIe PMU names as suffix

The NVIDIA PCIe and PCIe target PMUs are named <name>_<socket>_rc_<rc>,
like nvidia_pcie_pmu_1_rc_3. pmu_name_len_no_suffix() only strips the
last number, so perf treats the PMUs of each socket as a different PMU.
An event or metric on all PCIe PMUs then gives one result per socket,
each labelled with the first RC of its socket.

Make pmu_name_len_no_suffix() strip both numbers of these names, so the
instances on all sockets are merged as one PMU, nvidia_pcie_pmu or
nvidia_pcie_tgt_pmu. Also accept that name on the command line, as perf
list shows it, and sort these PMUs by socket and then by RC.
