Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] perf header: Fix missing PMU caps

PMU caps are written as HEADER_PMU_CAPS or for the special case of the
PMU "cpu" as HEADER_CPU_PMU_CAPS. As the PMU "cpu" is special, and not
any "core" PMU, the logic had become broken and core PMUs not called
"cpu" were not having their caps written. This affects ARM and s390
non-hybrid PMUs.

Simplify the PMU caps writing logic to scan one fewer time and to be
more explicit in its behavior.

Reported-by: Wei Li <liwei391@...wei.com>
Fixes: 178ddf3bad98 ("perf header: Avoid hybrid PMU list in write_pmu_caps")
