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.

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]
0.
