Subject: [PATCH] perf tool_pmu: Add skip check in tool_pmu__event_to_str()

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Some topdown related metrics may fail on hybrid machines.

 $perf stat -M tma_frontend_bound
 Cannot resolve IDs for tma_frontend_bound:
 cpu_atom@...DOWN_FE_BOUND.ALL@ / (8 * cpu_atom@..._CLK_UNHALTED.CORE@)

In the find_tool_events(), the tool_pmu__event_to_str() is used to
compare the tool_events. It only checks the event name, no PMU or arch.
So the tool_events[TOOL_PMU__EVENT_SLOTS] is set to true, because the
p-core Topdown metrics has "slots" event.
The tool_events is shared. So when parsing the e-core metrics, the
"slots" is automatically added.

The "slots" event as a tool event should only be available on arm64. It
has a different meaning on X86. The tool_pmu__skip_event() intends
handle the case. Apply it for tool_pmu__event_to_str() as well.

There is a lack of sanity check in the expr__get_id(). Add the check.
