The hw_cache_stat is missing the NODE cache operation definition,
but the array itself has proper bounds, so should be ok.

I checked the original patch and looks like all read/write/prefetch
should be enabled.. I added them

I added proper maximums to hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result
arrays definitions, so it will not segfault if any of them is not
properly updated in future.

attaching new patch

thanks,

Adding "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias function,
so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

# ./perf stat -e krava ls

The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache
event.
