[PATCH 7/7] perf list: place the guiding text in its right position

[Yunlong Song]

The guiding text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is
placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g.
'perf list hw' shows no guiding text at all, and 'perf list hw
L1-dcache*' shows the guiding text incorrectly in the middle of the
output.

Example
Before this patch:
$perf list hw L1-dcache*

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
  bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
  cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
  cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
  cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
  instructions                                       [Hardware event]
  stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend      [Hardware event]
  stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend    [Hardware event]

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):              <-- incorrect position
  L1-dcache-load-misses                              [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-loads                                    [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-prefetch-misses                          [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-prefetches                               [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-store-misses                             [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-stores                                   [Hardware cache event]

After this patch:
$perf list hw L1-dcache*

  cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
  cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]

  L1-dcache-store-misses                             [Hardware cache event]
  L1-dcache-stores                                   [Hardware cache event]
