Subject: [PATCH V1] perf tools: Get correct max value of format attribute

Currently, the maximum value of every format attribute is not being
correctly set.

For eg:
cat /sys/devices/cpu/format/umask
config:8-15

This implies the max_value of umask should be 0xff

./perf stat –e cpu/umask=0x100/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for '../rets-128.bin':

                 0      cpu/umask=0x100/

       0.109157272 seconds time elapsed

works just fine(0x100 > 0xff). Whereas,

./perf stat –e cpu/umask=0xff01/ sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu/umask=0xff01/'
                               \___ value too big for format, maximum is
65280(0xff00)

The maximum value is set to 0xff00 instead of 0xff.

This patch fixes the pmu_format_max_value() function to return the
correct maximum value.
