perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:

1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
by perf list, are used.

When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

67 l3cache/read-miss/
67 l3cache/read-miss/
63 l3cache/read-miss/
60 l3cache/read-miss/

0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

12 l3cache_read_miss
17 l3cache_read_miss
10 l3cache_read_miss
8 l3cache_read_miss

0.001661305 seconds time elapsed

This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

63 l3cache_0_3/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_1/read-miss/
64 l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

For alias events the name is added after the event name:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

10 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_3]
12 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_1]
10 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_2]
17 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_0]
