[PATCH] perf jevents: Sort list of input files

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

Without this, pmu-events.c would be generated with variations in ordering
depending on non-deterministic filesystem readdir order.

I tested that pmu-events.c still has the same number of lines
and that perf list output works.

This patch was done while working on reproducible builds for openSUSE,
but also solves issues in Debian [1] and other distributions.
