perf tools: Fix generation of pmu list

The internal pmu list was never used. With each perf_pmu__find() call
the pmu structure was created new by parsing sysfs. Beside this it
caused memory leaks. We now keep all pmus by adding them to the list.

Also, pmu_lookup() should return pmus that do not expose the format
specifier in sysfs.

We need a valid internal pmu list in a later patch to iterate over all
pmus that exist in the system.
