Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf test: Fix event parsing test on Arm

The test looks for a PMU from sysfs with type = PERF_TYPE_RAW when
opening a raw event. Arm doesn't have a real raw PMU, only core PMUs
with unique types other than raw.

Instead of looking for a matching PMU, just test that the event type
was parsed as raw and skip the PMU search on Arm. The raw event type
test should also apply to all platforms so add it outside of the ifdef.

Fixes: aefde50a446b ("perf test: Fix parse-events tests for >1 core PMU")
