Subject: [PATCH] perf list: Add s390 support for detailed/verbose pmu event description

From: Thomas Richter <tmricht@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Perf list with flags -d and -v print a description (-d) or
a very verbose explanation (-v) of CPU specific counter events.
These descriptions are provided with the json files in
directory pmu-events/arch/s390/*.json.

Display of these descriptions on s390 requires the
corresponding json files.

On s390 this does not work because function is_pmu_core()
does not detect the s390 directory name where the
CPU specific events are listed. On x86 it is
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu
whereas on s390 it is
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_cf
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_sf

Fix this by adding s390 directory name testing to
function is_pmu_core(). This is the same approach as taken for
arm platform.
