perf tools: Fix pmu events parsing rule

[ Upstream commit ceac7b79df7bd67ef9aaf464b0179a2686aff4ee ]

Currently all the event parsing fails end up
in the event_pmu rule, and display misleading
help like:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `inst'. Missing kernel support?
  ...

The reason is that the event_pmu is too strong
and match also single string. Changing it to
force the '/' separators to be part of the rule,
and getting the proper error now:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...
