Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] perf list: Avoid a hardcoded cpu PMU name

Use the first core PMU instead.

On a Raspberry Pi, before:
```
$ perf list
...
  cpu/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier                  [Raw hardware event descriptor]
       [(see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)]
...
```
After:
```

$ perf list
...
  armv8_cortex_a72/t1=v1[,t2=v2,t3 ...]/modifier     [Raw hardware event descriptor]
       [(see 'man perf-list' on how to encode it)]
...
```
