Subject: [PATCH v5 04/14] perf evsel: Support sparse fields in
 evsel__set_config_if_unset()

Sparse config fields are technically supported although currently
unused. field_prep() only works for contiguous bitfields so replace it
with pmu_format_value().

pmu_format_value() also takes a bitmap rather than a u64 so replace
'u64 bits' with format->bits.
