perf/x86/uncore: Fix crash by removing bogus event_list[] handling for SNB client uncore IMC

Vince Weaver reported the following bug when KASAN is enabled:

 [  205.748005] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in snb_uncore_imc_event_del+0x6c/0xa0 at addr ffff8800caa43768
 [  205.758324] Read of size 8 by task perf_fuzzer/6618

It's caused by accessing box->event_list.

For client IMC, there are no generic counters. It defines its own fixed
free running counters. So event_list and n_events are unused.

They can be removed safely, which fixes the bug.

( There's still the separate question of how uninitialized state snuck into
  this data structure - but that's a separate fix. )
