Ok. For now, I think below is good enough? Later we can introduce new
variable to provide type of cxl device.

Subject: [PATCH] perf/mem: Rename PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_EXTN_MEM to
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_CXL
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_EXTN_MEM was introduced to cover CXL devices but it's
bit ambiguous name and also not generic enough to cover cxl.cache and
cxl.io devices. Rename it to PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_CXL to be more specific.
