Subject: [PATCH 03/21] perf tests: Fix complex event name parsing

From: Sandipan Das <sandipan@...ux.ibm.com>

The 'umask' event parameter is unsupported on some architectures like
powerpc64.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

  # perf test "Parse event definition strings" -v
   6: Parse event definition strings                        :

  running test 0 'config=10,config1,config2=3,umask=1'

  ---- end ----
  Parse event definition strings: FAILED!

Committer testing:

After applying the patch these test passes and in verbose mode we get:

  # perf test -v "event definition"
