Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] perf: Use consistent style of comments for optional callbacks

To improve the readability of perf_event.h, let's be consistent in how we
annotate optional struct pmu callbacks. Where a multi-line comment block
is present before a single function prototype we add the annotation at the
end of the block. Otherwise we use a single line comment at the end of the
function prototype.
