Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf/x86: Optimize the is_x86_event

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

The current is_x86_event has to go through the hybrid_pmus list to find
the matched pmu, then check if it's a X86 PMU and a X86 event. It's not
necessary.

The X86 PMU has a unique type ID on a non-hybrid machine, and a unique
capability type. They are good enough to do the check.
